Question 3- "Telling the Truth"

In a 2017 speech about how fear inhibits people, Luvvie Ajayi Jones, an author and blogger, stated: "Telling truth--telling thoughtful truths-- should not be a revolutionary act. Speaking truths to power should not be sacrificial, but they are. But I think if more of us chose to do this for the greater good, we'd be in better spaces than we are right now. So it is our job, it is our obligation, it is our duty to speak truth to power... not just when it's difficult--especially when it's difficult."
