​

my heart, mind, and spirit will be connected to the people I encounter. I will continue to live with courage, hope, and love. each day I will strive to facilitate creativity and expression. I will learn from every interaction and seek guidance from my past, present, and future. I will put forth story, history, and culture as vital to personal identity and encourage all to embrace and seek pride in their own story. I will ask for the courage to be strong in the face of pain. I will lead by listening. I will be a vessel for change.
