Here’s What the Speakers are Excited to Share
“
Support the least of us
I'm excited for the United Voices summit because I'm always looking for ways to support "the least of us," especially in these turbulent times. I look forward to learning how to create and support community, as well as be a resource for those in need.
“
Together making a difference
Together we can make a difference. Right now we can watch and do nothing, or we can show up for each other. I choose showing up. With love and kindness. I am excited about this summit with so many backgrounds and voices coming together for the greater good of humanity. We are stronger together.
