KIPP SOL AFFIRMATION
“I am powerful, unique and unafraid to make change. I speak for myself because I am a leader who will never be defined by others. I am a voice for the silenced who believes in the greatness of my community. I strive for excellence and push harder when others give up. I am a KIPP Sol Advocate and, in solidarity, we are strong in mind (touch head), body (touch shoulders) and soul (touch heart).
