She believes the following statements to be true: That each of our choices matter and that what we do does and will continue to impact the fate of this world, ecosystems, and all the future generations. That through mindful and collective action, we can empower each other to circumvent harm. That together we can heal and choose true justice and true peace that benefit all.
