This is one of my favorite quotes about speaking up for yourself:
Maggie Kuhn, social activist and founder of the Gray Panthers.
I had heard it as “Speak your truth, even if your voice shakes.” Then in the course of researching who said it, I found the full context of the message–Stand before the people you fear. Insist on being seen. Insist on being heard. Use your voice even if it shakes.
When’s the last time your voice shook?
