Today I Rise: This Beautiful Short Film Is Like a Love Poem For Your Heart and Soul

"The world is missing what I am ready to give: My Wisdom, My Sweetness, My Love and My hunger for Peace."

"Where are you? Where are you, little girl with broken wings but full of hope? Where are you, wise women covered in wounds? Where are you?"
