The Power of Words
The "Power of Words" campaign brings 12 strangers together to share the words or phrases that left a lasting impression on them. These videos aim to show our commonality in that we have all had some very hurtful and uplifting things said to us.
They remind us that words can disable, words can enable, #WordsStick.
