"The core mission of the cabaret was simple yet powerful: stop talking about change and start making it. 'So often as a generation and as a society, we talk about the change we want to see but never actively try to make it,' Makaila explained. 'If we are not doing anything about it, we may as well be indifferent. It just takes every single person doing a small thing for change to be made.'"

"Speaking Out, Singing Louder" is a project I built that donates to the charity, Democracy Forward – a national legal organization that advances democracy and social progress through litigation, policy and public education, and regulatory engagement – supporting those affected by changes to their rights.
People left our show talking, debating, arguing-but most importantly, having the hard conversations that need to be had. Many walked away with a new understanding of a perspective they hadn't considered before. That's where change begins.
My long term goal is to build "Speaking Out, Singing Louder" into a non-profit. Art is and always has been a form of resistance.
