"Your Voice is My Voice"
Your voice matters. My voice matters. Together, our voices become stronger. I believe in standing with courage, even when the road is difficult. I believe in speaking up, even when others stay silent. And I believe in lifting each other, because fear has no place where unity and love live. I come from a journey of resilience — from Congo to New Hampshire, from nursing to community organizing, from immigrant to State Representative. Every step taught me one truth: we are strongest when we refuse to be afraid. So I say to you today: Don’t be afraid. Be strong. Be courageous. Your voice is powerful. Your story is powerful. And when we stand together, we can build a community rooted in dignity, justice, and hope.
