  • Nelson Mandela would have turned 105 years old today! There are countless lessons we can learn from his legacy of activism, reconciliation, strength, courage, and forgiveness. This episode talks about his life as well as Dr. Mary Mcleod Bethune. Here are just a few of his empowering quotes. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

    "No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated."

    "I cherish my own freedom dearly, I care even more about your freedom."

    “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”

    “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

    “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

    “Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”

    “Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.”
