As a young person facing the challenges of our world today, it’s sometimes difficult to imagine how connected I am to making a difference on any large scale.
But just the other day, as I had been thinking about how tough it is to connect with those “in power” (i.e., elected officials, celebrities, etc.) to tell them of the trials or triumphs in my community, something amazing happened. The Mayor of Oakland showed up on my doorstep with a precinct “random visit request” to take a poll in the neighborhood that I reside in! After having tea for almost an hour, the mayor became aware of the work I do as a youth leader and social entrepreneur inspiring kids and families around the world to find their creative voice and make a difference in the world!
As Marriane Williamson said, “Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.”
Listen to my Green Dude podcast segment, then read on for more about the We Are All Connected global dance party movement. Then read on to learn more about it and how you can get involved.
We all must truly find the voice within us that says, we are all gifted with something to give the world!
For this reason, and so much more, I am honored to share my message of global oneness and connectedness with each and every one you.
As one youth ambassador in the campaign, Avalon Theisen, said…
“The more we are aware of our connectedness, the better we’ll treat ourselves, each other and the planet!”
