Stories have been essential at times like these. They can help us to have empathy, to recognize that beyond diversity, we are human. I have seen a lot of diversity in my life and I have had to understand all the people I have met.

All the greats in history have spoken to us through stories, poetry, because that is art; they speak on another frequency, they transmit an energy capable of penetrating our defenses.

Look at what we have achieved so far because of all those who have fought and marched in our history. Let us believe, let us have faith. Thank you all.

He would thank his ancestors for their guidance and their sacrifices. I would thank his team… He would say something beautiful, something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice within all of us that tells you that you can, that tells you to keep going, that calls you back to what you are destined to do right now. of history … I don’t have his words, but we have to take advantage of every moment to celebrate those we love.
