Change Starts Small.

In a world often overwhelmed by noise and inaction, it’s easy to underestimate the power of a few. But history has shown us time and time again—movements are born not from the masses, but from the courage of the committed.

Let this quote by Margaret Mead serve as a reminder: you don’t need a crowd to make a difference. All it takes is a small group of passionate, purposeful individuals willing to stand up, speak out, and take action.

Be thoughtful. Be committed. Be the change.
