I believe it's the human imperative to listen well and to speak well. I am encouraged by all people who do so, especially when it is to learn, love, protect, and grow. +

I do not hold celebrities to a higher standard in this regard, but I am overjoyed when they do choose wisely, for they have a bigger and more captive audience than most. The roots of #BTS lie in a desire to do just this. And in doing so, they speak into our lives. +

Their lyrics hold this power, but so do their other publicised words. And so I am grateful that they have held hands with UNICEF in their anti-violence campaign through #BTSLoveMyself, and I'm proud that they're speaking at #GenerationUnlimited.

Rather than asking you to be wise in your words and actions because you're the face of BTS, I'd like to ask you to be wise because you're human.

I hope we can continue to be inspired by them to love ourselves, each other, and the world around us
