What does june 16 mean to Anisa

In this episode of **Speak Your Truth**, we sit down for a real conversation about what youth life used to look like, what has changed, and why many young people today seem to be losing touch with effort, discipline, and purpose. She reflects on a time when young people had activities for every season — sports, community involvement, and things that kept them active and connected. But today, many parents are watching the youth drift into corners, drugs, distractions, and a culture of not wanting to try. We also touch on the issue of charity and dignity — when people donate shoes or school items to children, why must those children be photographed? Are we helping with love, or are we turning people’s struggles into content? And why is it that sometimes those who already have still receive, while the truly less fortunate are left out? This conversation also looks at technology and AI. With so many tools available today, one would think young people would become more informed, more creative, and more prepared for the future. But instead, many are becoming comfortable, avoiding reading, avoiding effort, and using technology for the wrong reasons. This is not just a conversation about what is wrong with the youth. It is a reflection on what has changed, what has been lost, and what we need to rebuild. *Speak Your Truth: The Parent Story* Real people. Real stories.
