2023

2. What makes a
voice powerful?

3. Well... what does
power sound like

4. And who does
power sound like?

5. Think of your
favorite acts of
public speech.

8. And think of you,
speaking up.

Let's do
this thing!

and this revolution because the
world is a f*ing fiery mess. And when
we change what power sounds like,
we change who has it.)
