Tahani Salah performs Hate at the 2006 Urban Word NYC Teen Poetry Slam

So - what is your answer to this young woman?

What will you tell your children you did to stop the hate?

Sahila: Seattle, United States; Born in Europe and raised in the southern hemisphere, I've lived in five countries on three continents and in two island nations... I'm a communications, marketing and PR consultant, broadcast journalist, writer, editor, event manager, fund raiser, narration and voice-over artist... I'm also a personal growth facilitator, teacher, breath worker, shaman, healer, ordained non-denominational minister and celebrant, in private and public practice... Diversity, equality and equity, social justice and sustainable community issues are important to me and I'm active in social change groups... I'm the parent of four children, three of whom are grown up and living in other parts of the world... kinda interesting doing the parenting thing again, from the far side of 50! Not as much energy nor as fast on my feet, but maybe a little more relaxed, wiser and certainly more street smart... as I tell my youngster: "with three older siblings, there's not much point in you trying anything - I've seen it all!"
