Can We Stop Underestimating Ourselves? by Shanna Forrestall

"Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us." - Wilma Rudolph

We really need to stop underestimating each other. Can we make a pact?

I'm working daily to take off the labels that want to limit me... because I'm a woman ... or because I happen to have light skin.

I've had years of chronic pain caused by two accidents that weren't my fault, I've been lied to, cheated on, and mistreated in pretty much any way possible (emotional, physical, mental, sexual and religious abuse) ... but guess what... I'm still standing...!

And every day I wake up determined to love more, dream bigger, inspire hope and fight harder (as an advocate for myself and others)... and, I'm also working DAILY to give you exactly what I'm asking for!

Don't just look at me... SEE me... my strength, passion, determination and willingness to work on my shit. And I will try to do the same.

We're all in this human experience together... whether we like it or not... and we're much more alike than we are different.
