Darrell Bennett at Times Square: Empowering Youth_ Use Your Voice to Change Lives | #KindnessIsCool Awards Ceremony

Next we invite up to the stage Honorable Minister Daryl J. Bennett for some remarks, and then you're going to present some certificates as well. Absolutely. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. I want to do this one more time. Good afternoon, everyone. That's what I'm talking about. Today, we celebrate, we celebrate kindness being cool, and not just kindness, the spirit of compassion, and the power of a voice. Listen to me, young people. You have a voice. I know people will say to you, you're the future, you're the present. Your voice can change somebody's life. If you have a phone, you have a platform. If you have an internet connection, you have an audience, and with the voice that you use, you can change people's lives. You can make people feel better. You can make people understand the life that they have on the inside of them. This is the last thing I'm going to say. I want to leave you with a question. What are you doing with the voice that you have? We live in a world of words. You can look around us, it's words, it's words, it's words everywhere, but how are you using your words? How are you using the voice that you've been given? It is with your voice and your words that you can transform a nation, and you can transform the world. Thank you, Sherry, for this great, wonderful platform, and I wish you much success, blessings and honor, and that this will continue in the greatest way possible. Thank you all.
