Finding courage!
Standing up for what you believe in. Speaking up for the people that aren't able to do so because they fear the consequences.

So hard to decide to do so, and not go hide in the corner. Under the table. Put our head in the sand. At first it's scary, because you are afraid of what other people will think. Afraid to rock the boat, make everyone in the room uncomfortable because you decided to speak the truth. You don't do it for fame or exposure. You do it because it is the right thing to do and the truth deserves to be heard, despite all the stigmas and judgement that goes with it.
