But with my coming to America story my mom showed me that words are power. Your voice is your instrument
-whether you speak (with an accent or not), write, sing or shout. It can
be a literal sound or it can be your voice on a piece of paper or a
computer screen. But it is yours. And it comes from your gut. So maybe
you should trust it. *
