Naheem Watson

Words are weapons, and according to Naheem Watson, until we, as a society, realize this and make moves to change, we are risking dangerous societal consequences. When it comes to instances or topics that involved gender, race, or both, many times the perspective and existence of someone can be put in jeopardy, simply by the words one uses. Naheem Watson challenges us all to make the life-altering decision to transcend our vocabulary to a more open and inclusive point, thus pushing our society into a greater future.
