Share a memory that makes you proud of yourself!
I used to write pieces on social injustices while I was still in secondary school but the fear of performing them, being another statistic made me not to dare perfom them but am proud after joining the social justice movement I have been able to perform and articulate the social issues affecting us and also the recognition of my contribution to the struggle for social justice.
