25-12. Empower Our Youth


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 18th

This week, I’m going to be talking about our youth.

I’ve done many shows on children—catching them young, nurturing their gifts, and showing them how to use those gifts to serve humanity and the planet. I have spoken about my brother Sam Hawksmore’s and his books, which dive into the youth journeys of self-love, resilience, and discovery. These stories have always liberated me, offering a youthful perspective while teaching profound lessons about today’s reality.

But when we look at our youth today, we see so many feeling lost. And who can blame them? They are growing up in a world filled with political conflicts, wars, and power struggles where leaders have forgotten their purpose—to serve the people. Many opportunities are vanishing, and the doors previous generations fought to open are now closing again.

History has shown us that marginalized communities, especially African Americans, have overcome immense obstacles to contribute to society. Each generation worked to create a better future, but today, we see those gains threatened. Brilliant voices are being silenced, networks are bowing to political pressure, and society is regressing instead of progressing.

To those being shut out—start your own. Build your own networks, platforms, and communities. Do not wait for permission to be heard. We, the people, need you. Our youth must understand they are not bound by the broken systems we inherited. They have the power to carve a new path.

Our world is in disarray. Many leaders cling to outdated ideologies, resisting progress. Our youth must realize that their future isn’t about fitting into a system that no longer works—it’s about creating one that does. They must build networks of like-minded peers, seek mentors, and claim their own spaces.

Now more than ever, knowledge is power. When people think critically, they become difficult to manipulate. That is why intellectual voices are being suppressed—because an informed society cannot be controlled. We must fight this battle, not with weapons, but with awareness, integrity, and conviction.

To every young person feeling uncertain about the future—know this: You are the architects of tomorrow. If the path before you is broken, create a new one. Find those who share your vision, build together, and refuse to accept imposed limitations.

Let’s teach our children that community, compassion, and intelligence are far more powerful than greed and division. Let’s raise them with the confidence to challenge injustice and the wisdom to navigate it effectively. Let’s encourage them to be creators, innovators, and leaders who operate with love and integrity.

We do not need another war—economic, physical, or ideological. We need a revolution of consciousness, one that values humanity over power and unity over division. The answer lies in our youth.

To parents and grandparents—talk with your children. Teach them kindness, respect, and the power they hold within. Encourage them to think critically and to listen—not just to respond but to truly understand.

Our world needs empowered youth, and it’s our responsibility to nurture and support them. Let’s apologize for the mess we’ve left them and commit to guiding them toward a brighter future. Let’s remind them that hope is not lost because they are the hope.

Until next time, let’s keep the conversation going. Our children’s future depends on it.
