Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. -Martin Luther King Jr.
In the US, we have many living dead and their silence deafening in the midst of cries for justice. Fortunately, not everyone is silent.

I am a first generation Jamaican immigrant whose experiences and accomplishments were made possible by the courage, sacrifices and the heroic acts of many whose bodies have rotted away in unmarked graves. Those are my heroes. Their sacrifices and death paved the way for my children and I. Failure to Listen is a token of my eternal gratitude. Failure to Listen is a tribute those generations of unmarked graves occupied by people of all races whose ultimate sacrifice of life opened the door for me and others, THANK YOU. Failure to Listen https://failuretolisten.wordpress.com/ uses cultural lenses to appreciate and understand the relationships between current events and our values, beliefs and attitudes. Culture is everything without it we are nothing. Failure to Listen will take you on a journey to recognize the beauty of our differences as the seeds to creativity, innovation and resolving disparities. By sharing my personal and professional experiences, I hope to do justice to the perspectives of those who are rarely heard or listened to. This site is not to incite anger but rather to provoke thought. It is my hope that Failure to Listen will work to foster intergroup dialogues and motivate readers to step outside the box and get to know ALL PEOPLE. In the spirit of Martin Luther King, let's join hands and remember his famous speech about a dream... A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead View all posts by Angela Grant
Never shut up, never bow down, not even if you shitting your pants/panties.
The only reason to keep silent is, when you’re busy creating the next hurricane to blow fascists, racists, and abusers of power away. Well……um…….if you’re into doing stuff like that. No hard feelings, though, if you can’t run with the big dogs, and prefer to stay on the porch……… barking. Just be honest about it.
