DR. KENNETH
STEPHENS
Speaker & Advocate for the Unseen
Can You See Me is a powerful and thought-provoking phrase that can evoke a range of emotions and ideas. It speaks to the idea of being seen and understood, of having one's voice heard and identity acknowledged. It can also refer to the feeling of being invisible, of not being seen or appreciated, or of feeling alone and unheard. It can be a reminder to be more mindful of how we view and interact with others, and to strive for greater understanding and empathy.
