Grenda David & Ayanna Gaines

Of Course We’re Afraid

At the center of resistance is fear.  Yet, it makes perfect sense for us to be afraid.  After all we are tiny beings standing on a giant blue ball spinning in outer space in the midst of an infinitely expanding universe.  If the goal of life is not to be fearless, then what is it?
