Vanessa shares her powerful story on how she is fighting to stop shootings in her neighborhood through love and art.
(Warning: The audio is a little broken in the beginning, but promise—it gets better!)
One of the most powerful talks of our month around bravery, Vanessa German speaks at our Pittsburgh chapter on how love is the only way to stop violence and hate. Everything she knows about bravery, she says, she learned through love and love is what is helping her stop the shootings in her neighborhood.
Thank you Vanessa German for being you and for being me. I struggle with "Who does she think she is" everyday...but I will continue to show up to the places and spaces where I don't look like anyone else, I'll continue to make the connections I couldn't possibly have engineered and tell the stories this country NEEDS to hear...and I'll do it for LOVE.
