Being associated with anything that has to do with Dr King obviously is both a privilege
and an honor. Ultimately I feel that this is definitely a recognition that I don't believe
I'm deserving of alone. I feel that our community members that are part of the Tri-Cities diversity
inclusion council, our board they are definitely worthy of being recognized because
all of the work that we do, we do it together. I don't do any of this work by myself and so
I am both privileged and humbled to be a recipient of the award. Despite all the challenges that our
community members may face today the advice that I have for them is to stay encouraged
to stay positive to understand and recognize that there is a community here of support,
not only within the Tri-Cities diversity inclusion council but with several organizations across
our community that are willing to support those that are in need. Folks are not alone,
there are a number of individuals a number of organizations that are willing to provide the
support that people need and so if you're if you need a support system if you need to if you're in
need of resources if you want to be a part of an organization and you yourself want to serve and if
you feel like that's going to fuel your soul feel your heart that we are definitely a resource even
here at the Tri-Cities diversity and inclusion council and I welcome folks to reach out.
I believe that Dr King's goal in regards to teachings were focused on probably two to
three key areas and I would say that first area is love, he talked about the fact that only love
could transform an enemy into a friend only love had the power to change hate and drive out hate
and that we were supposed to serve people with love. And so I feel like love is definitely the
first priority, is that we have to lead with a heart of love and I think service is another
part is that you know I've said this often is we all owe it to one another as members of society,
people on this earth we owe it to one another to contribute to society the best way that we can.
