It's been rough for me trying to find my position in the struggle and where my voice is needed and helpful.

Will Smith
Image
I'm starting to be a lot more comfortable with allowing people to decide for themselves and almost creating a situation that forces people to decide for themselves whether they like it or don't like it or agree with the character or disagree with the character.
