I will not give in...You will not break me

This will not break me, I will not give in nor will I back down. I will proudly stand for what I believe in. Bubba Wallace

Motivational Monday!!

My post is dedicated to Bubba Wallace. He is the only black driver in NASCAR's top circuit. Over the weekend a noose was found hanging in his team's garage. Many of us write posts, we speak up in relatively protected environments, we write articles, blogs, and/or books about environments that we are not in and/or have left. I am not saying it does not take courage, but when you read about situations like Mr. Wallace you see a display of courage today that is beyond measure.

He spoke out against the confederate flag at NASCAR events, he raced with a Black Lives Matter paint scheme on his car at an event last week, and he participates in a sport where he is not surrounded by participants that look like him and/or share his view or concern.

Regardless of your battle or issue, at some point, you have to decide will you, with an unwavering conviction, take a stand? It will not break you, you will choose not to give in or back down. You will proudly stand up for what you believe.
