Figure It Out

Resilience demands that we meet obstacles head on and refuse to turn back. When a wall appears in our path we learn to look for footholds, build ladders, or call on others to help us climb. In Queer life these walls can be prejudice, self-doubt, or systems built to exclude us. Each time we choose to figure out how to scale what once seemed insurmountable, we gain confidence and joy that radiates through our community. Overcoming barriers becomes its own source of joy and a reminder that our collective strength can turn any blockade into a doorway.
