Iyoaye's Public Notes

Last night, I was watching a video of Pastor Driscoll reacting to the trailer of the new Netflix movie “Will and Harper”. While watching his reaction, a thought popped into my mind and it’s something I have heard/read different variations of it  — this idea that we all have our truths and we need to be true to ourselves.  I find this very conflicting every time I hear it… and I question how much should we care about people’s self-serving “truths” even when they are not in any way helping us to become better as a society.  I don’t have answers here but I am very worried we driving our society toward a place where people will do things because they feel like their defense will be “their truths”.

At that moment, I remembered his website and wondered how it would be managed.  Well, I checked, and I noticed it’s been redesigned. Now, it serves as Dee’s legacy beyond VISA....
