Hey Queens, I just wanted to let you all know how I've been feeling lately since I'm on this God given path. Its one of the most time consuming, and emotionally tolling paths I've ever been on that I can actually remember. So, I just want to share with you my journey thus far in the form of prose. Enjoy & comment!
I have learned a lot in the 6 months I’ve formed Purple W.I.N.G.S., things I’ve learned about myself and others. Trust me I did not think it would be easy. It is never easy to form something, to try and change an environment. It is not easy to save others, even from themselves. You go into philanthropy with the best intentions. Full speed ahead, thinking you will change the world! Then you get hit with the reality that the world likes itself just as it is. That half of the people you are trying to help like their current situation with no intention of changing. They look at you as if you are insane for even insinuating that something is wrong with the way they are living. Couple that with a community who isn’t remotely interested in helping its people. They don’t see a problem…they think, “Kids want to drop out of school? That’s their problem, let’s cut the education budget, because what’s the point?” You become appalled by the attitude but accept it as a cultural norm. Then they continue…“Yeah, were one of the top three hubs for sexual slavery and human trafficking. We have legal prostitution 90 minutes away, we advertise sin, and hedonistic lifestyles but we don’t need a statewide campaign specifically for the girls of Nevada.” Then you feel like you are trudging on an uphill battle.
