Slam Piece: What Does Empowerment Mean To Me?

EMPOWERMENT
 
I’ve asked myself after tour times of coming here. 
What do I want to get out of this? 
​What does EMPOWERMENT mean to me?
 
Empowerment is being open minded in order to support and be supported by those around me while displaying and understanding the different paths we each choose to follow.
Feeling FOCUSED, SUPPORTED, ENERGIZED and STRONG are words that demonstrate how I feel when I am EMPOWERED!
I am DETERMINED, wanting to be EDUCATED.  I keep showing up and trying because I can be supported while displaying my independence.
