In April 2018, I had the opportunity to do a TEDx speech. When I asked my peers what I should discuss, they all responded with the same message, "talk about your passion for mentoring."
The true power of mentoring is so important to me because a powerful mentor relationship at the age of 16 changed the entire trajectory of my life. I promise you, I wouldn't be here. That relationship and transformation led me to do it for other people. I even worked for non-profits for over 10 years that solely served at risk people of color around mentoring and programs to prevent them from the prison pipeline.
If you are looking for others way to directly impact lives right now, mentoring at a local organization may be an option. I am not saying this is the solution, it may just be one for many who aren't able to protest or are looking for a more direct impact.
And if you've ever thought about mentoring but feel like the invest of time wont equal a true transformation, I am here to tell you how far off you are. However, I encourage you to listen to this TEDx speech to truly understand how POWERFUL of mentoring a few people actually is.
