Power of Language

Words have power, and even seemingly innocuous terms and phrases can have unintended consequences. What might seem harmless to one person can deeply affect another, especially when those words reinforce stereotypes or perpetuate exclusion. Being mindful of your language is not just about political correctness; it's about showing respect and empathy toward others.
