What inspires you from WFSU Public Media? Here's this week's Voices That Inspire. I'm Maisha Mitchell and I'm from Tallahassee. Been here all my life with the exception of several years when I lived in the 3M states. My legacy I would hope would be that I cared enough, that I really want to see change. I like to see people have co-agir relationships. I like people to understand the value of civic participation. And when we understand the value of that public engagement, the value of civic involvement, we will have done some models working out of time. So for me, I'm hoping that if we do nothing else, we respect people's opinion, we allow people to voice that opinion, and then we work together to see if we can come to some understanding as a group of people looking to get the job done. I have such a desire by heart, and I'm quite sure it maybe came from really bringing two Anna, my ancestors, to remember those things that my mother and my aunts and my uncles, my father and my grandparents all taught me. And that's the value of relationships. How do you take care of the people that would like to say something to the young people that they should never give up on whatever it is they like to do? They should stand for what they believe, and they should encourage other people to do so, and never forget your elders. Always find a way to engage because social isolation is no fun. When people get older and people push them away, we don't want that, and we want you to detect a challenge as young people to make sure that you take care of your old people. How am I, Isha Mitchell? I am working here in Tallahassee for years with the French Town Improvement Association with the Greater French Town Re-Balalization Council where I am in the Executive Director. You're listening to voices that inspire.
