John Lewis Preached To The Chicken Choir
If you have a vision and a strong desire to be seen and heard by all means, find a supportive audience like John Lewis.
John Lewis, a civil rights activist, was inspired early to become a minister. As young as age seven, he preached to the family’s chickens.
The chickens listened to him without judgment and helped give him the confidence he needed for public speaking.
We can learn a thing or two hanging out in a chicken coop.
Moral of the story:
“We don’t heal in isolation, but in community.”

When I’m not busy being a super mom, cleaning up messes, running errands and taking my autistic daughter to her medical appointments, I find time to write poetry and blog about random topics. I am an animal lover, author, jokester, poet, bibliophile, true crime stories junkie, history buff, single parent, autism advocate, educator, homeless activist, food aficionado autodidact who loves learning about everything. I grew up in West Palm Beach, Panama City and Pensacola, Florida. I currently reside in New Orleans with my two children.
