Video of the decade!  This is a must watch video.  Ms. Tillet delivered one of the best poems ever on empowerment.  Seeing her do this live was incredible!  Tears welled up in many of our eyes.  She will be leading Belize some day, and more power to her.  This video should be played in every school, every class, every semester! 

"On Friday, March 16th, Kristyn Tillet, a first form student of Corozal Community College transmitted a powerful and chilling poem on the empowerment and participation of adolescents; a poem which resulted in a standing ovation from everyone in attendance at the 20,000 STRONG Women’s Empowerment Rally. Kristyn was one of 9 dynamic speakers whose voices were heard that day."
