Hello Somebody

In this second part of a three-part series, SNT revisits “The Three Bones” inspirational legacy. In this episode, The Jawbone. SNT speaks on how the jawbone represents a personal act of courage to speak truth to power. Relatedly so, SNT speaks truth to the difference between Pro-life and Pro-BIRTH in this crisis of Roe-vs-Wade. She also reminds you to have the courage to be who you are in the face of indifference, and she implores you to keep on keepin’ on as you continue to stand up for what’s right. #EverybodyIsSomebody #HelloSomebody

Quotes:
 We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. “Necessitous men are not free men.” People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made. In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all regardless of station, race, or creed.
