“One of the most important things about communication, of course, is authenticity.” “When your communication isn't lean, people check out and they check out quickly.” Have you ever struggled with public speaking? Don't let fear hold you back. Overcome your fear and practice public speaking through various life experiences. Becoming a great communicator isn't about being a "natural."

Just as you wouldn't expect to become a skilled musician or athlete without consistent practice, the same principle applies to communication. Whether it's mastering the art of public speaking, refining your writing skills, or perfecting the nuances of interpersonal communication, it all comes down to putting in the work.

We break the mold by empowering citizen journalists and relying on your suppor

“Don't give up, don't let anybody tell you to give up. If somebody says something negative to you, it's their projecting themselves onto you. One thing I've learned is everything is a projection and nothing is personal. So in other words, if somebody is projecting that you're no good, he's got one finger pointing at you and three fingers pointing back at himself. So don't ever let anybody discourage you, no matter how bad things were, no matter how downtrodden you get, just keep trying. Don't stop.” In a society where law enforcement encounters can sometimes escalate unnecessarily. Life is often marked by inflection points—moments that test our resilience and redefine our path forward.
