Perspectives S34/Ep36 The World is More than Peach

Our guest is 11-year-old Bellen Woodard, and this is a late post. Woodard appeared on Perspectives on August 7th to discuss her career as an activist. That career began when she was only eight years old. If someone asked you to hand them “the skin-color crayon”, which color would you give them? When Bellen Woodard was asked that question, she knew they meant the peach crayon. But not everyone’s skin is peach. So she set out to change the language at her school little by little, starting by replying with: “Which one? Skin can be any number of beautiful colors.” Then Bellen decided to do more. She activated a cause and a small business. Remember, she's only 11 now. But this young trailblazer saw an awareness gap in society and created a change to fix it.
