Hereโs one more thing thatโs just as important:
Using that spark to help light the path for everyone else around you.
Iโm sure many of you pray for tolerance and world peace, for love and understanding. I definitely do! However, these things arenโt going to happen on their own. Remember that Mulan quote I mentioned before? โA single grain of rice can tip the scale,โ said the emperor. But somebody needs to put that grain onto the scale first!
At Ellana, this translates to helping people shine in their own unique ways.
Weโre a diverse family of over 220 individuals, with varying backgrounds, gender expressions, beliefs, and interests. Everyone is encouraged to break out of the box, find their own voice, and use that voice to amplify the causes they care about. And we make it a point to be present for those still finding their footing, as well as those already breaking barriers and paving the way for others to grow!
After all, if weโve got the freedom to do and be more, then itโs just right that we make sure everyone else has the same freedom, too.
But enough about us โ we want to hear from YOU! How do you practice self-expression, and what are the causes you dedicate your voice to?
Love,
