about

How does a child lose their voice?

More than likely, it is through external circumstances that a child’s right to speak and be heard is revoked. In my own life, people have attempted, with differing results to remove my voice. To push me down so far into the ground, that only distant murmurs are heard. Their hard work got the result(s) they wanted, but only for a time. Who I am as a person, as someone who is supported and buoyed by the people who have inhabited this soul prior to me, always found a way to return to the surface. Kicking and screaming.

In the world at this time, there are countless children who are being stripped of their voice. I hope that this piece gives you time to understand their presence in the world. Time for you to understand that we as connected beings have a duty to live our lives so that those children can speak through you.

In terms of the people who are in your day to day life, I hope this piece encourages you to communicate to those people that you see and hear them. Let them know that they are appreciated and valid. It may sound like new age nonsense - but, it’s better to communicated the good to the people in your life everyday, than to never say anything and regret it later on.
