Stacey Abrams: 3 questions to ask yourself about everything you do
Short story
valedictorian of her school
privilege to meet the governor of Georgia
She went by bus to the gate
First: the guard said that people like her (poor and black) cannot be awaited by the governor
He only verified his checklist because her father was going to make a scandal

I want change --> let yourself understand your mistake let the time to the other to understand that it's not only because you're a woman that you did this mistake.
2) Why do I want it ?(Meaningless if there is no reason)
Revenge is never a good reason
Do it, But not if it's something you SHOULD do but because it's something you MUST do
3) How do I get it ?
For example, a lot more of Asian and African Georgian people are now voting for their future because they feel understood and more concerned
3 things hold you hostage
1) Finances
First of all, dreams are bounded by ressources... You cannot always overcome this obstacles but you will be damned if you do not try

It can be paralysing or terrifying but you can also use it as energie or to stimulate yourself and your purpose

Opportunity to evaluate how much we want it (//WHY)
