At a poetry meeting on May 14th, 1985, brought together by Sisters Against Apartheid, Audre Lorde stated, "To know that our voices are being raised. It is a very important lesson, too, to know that learning to use your power is not a free lesson; but it is an invaluable one, because to be able to know what it feels like to put all of who you are behind something you believe, is a priceless present" (Lorde, 1985).
Knowledge gained not only shapes our intellectual growth, but also strengthens our capacity to contribute meaningfully to the world around us.
Through education, we refine our ability to teach and inspire others, a responsibility that, like Lorde's invaluable lesson, requires both commitment and purpose.
