While growing up, I have always been the kind of person who would try to help out in the world whenever I could. I am a strong believer that change won’t happen unless we actually do the work to change something. Also like any other human being I know I’m not perfect and don’t always do the right thing.

Like I mentioned in previous blog postings I use to work at a beauty supply store for only licensed cosmetologist to buy what they needed. While working at the store, I did see a bit of sexism happening in the work place. Since I was pretty knew at the time I have to admit that I never actually said anything about it even though I knew it was wrong. Looking back now, I wish I would have said something to my fellow co-workers whenever they did something that wasn’t okay. I know that if I would have said something it would be a small step in the right direction for change.

Now I am at a part of my life where I feel confident enough to speak up to anyone when I see them doing something wrong. Although it may not always make a difference with every person I encounter. Even getting the point across to them is a step in the right direction for change.
