January 6, 2026: The Quiet Calling

This phrase has always motivated me.

Speak up for those who cannot speak out.

This begins by watching the margins. That’s where you’ll find the vulnerable and oppressed.

They often hide in plain sight, existing in the gaps of our attention, easy to miss and even easier to overlook.

Your first job is simply to notice.

True advocacy starts not with speaking, but with seeing. Be aware of those who are not being defended.

Their silence doesn’t reflect contentment but rather exhaustion or fear. Translate that quiet into a call for change.

Your ability to speak without consequences is a form of privilege.

And your platform becomes meaningful only when you use it for others.
