The message is one of hope and optimism, urging us to create a better future by instilling positive values in the next generation. 

Throughout the song, the tone is inspirational and motivational, with a soaring chorus that drives home the importance of teaching children to care for one another and to make a positive impact on the world.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Look into the mirror what do you see
A world growing wild or a place to be free
Show them kindness that's the key
Teach the kids how love should be 

[Verse 2]
Words hit harder than a swinging fist
Show them peace can always exist
Erase the hate write a better list
Plant seeds of love where anger twists 

[Chorus]
Raise 'em high on the wings of care
Lift them up show them someone's there
Paint the world with respect to spare
Teach the heart to always share 

[Verse 3]
Don't just preach let them see it clear
Actions louder teach 'em year by year
Hold the world close keep it near
We'll build a future where love's sincere 

[Bridge]
Drop the fear it won't mend the cracks
Help them give without looking back
Shatter walls that set us off track
It's time for love to lead the pack 

[Chorus]
Raise 'em high on the wings of care
Lift them up show them someone's there
Paint the world with respect to spare
Teach the heart to always share 

[Bridge]
Drop the fear it won't mend the cracks
Help them give without looking back
Shatter walls that set us off track
It's time for love to lead the pack 

[Chorus]
Raise 'em high on the wings of care
Lift them up show them someone's there
Paint the world with respect to spare
Teach the heart to always share

Celebrating the International Women's Day with Omolola Dare - 10th March 2022

Welcome to "AI with Shaily," a podcast hosted by Shailendra Kumar, where you can explore the fascinating world of artificial intelligence! 🎙️ Today, Shaily is excited to share a groundbreaking story about a new development that could revolutionize communication for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. 

Imagine wearing a ring that utilizes advanced micro-sonar technology to interpret finger movements in real-time American Sign Language (ASL) fingerspelling. This innovative ring, developed by a talented team at Cornell University, acts as a magical translator right on your finger! 🖐️✨ It's designed to help users input text through ASL, bridging communication gaps and making interactions smoother for those who rely on sign language.

This technology is generating a lot of buzz on social media, as it opens up possibilities for future advancements. Shaily envisions a future where this ring could work in conjunction with smart glasses, allowing for a comprehensive ASL translation system that tracks facial expressions and body gestures. Such integration could significantly enhance how technology interacts with users, promoting inclusivity and accessibility like never before. 🤖💬

In addition to the ring, Cornell's researchers have introduced two other innovative tools: GazeTrak and EyeEcho. These tools also utilize micro-sonar technology to monitor gaze and facial expressions, which could be transformative in virtual reality environments or health monitoring applications. The combination of AI with everyday life is expanding the horizons of what's possible! 🌍💡

Shaily shares a personal belief that technology should be inclusive and serve everyone. The emergence of innovations like this ring reinforces that belief and highlights the importance of embracing inclusivity in our technological advancements. He poses a thought-provoking question: Could this ring be the solution to overcoming persistent communication barriers? 🤔💭

As the segment wraps up, Shaily reminds listeners that "The best way to predict the future is to invent it," and it seems we are on the right path. He encourages everyone to connect with him on social media platforms like YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium, where he shares the latest updates in AI. If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe and engage in the comments—your thoughts are essential for the conversation!

Episode 14 – Creating an Inclusive Reality with Christopher Hughes | Creation of Living Podcast

Trust is at the heart of effective communication today, particularly when it comes to science and healthcare. In a time when mistrust of institutions is growing, communicators must prioritize building authentic connections rather than relying solely on facts and figures. It’s not just about relaying information. Brands must understand audience concerns and engage in storytelling that resonates with people’s core values.
Employees are brands most powerful storytellers. Their real-life experiences help humanize organizations and build credibility both internally and externally. Tapping into employee stories not only enhances brand trust but also strengthens employer branding efforts, particularly as competition for talent intensifies.
In addition to positioning employees as brand ambassadors, research plays a crucial role in brand building. Balancing qualitative and quantitative methods enables organizations to gain a deeper understanding of stakeholders and craft messaging that is both authentic and effective. Whether preparing for a rebrand or launching a major campaign, starting with research ensures the strategy is informed and adaptable.
Inclusivity remains critical. Organizations that reflect the diversity of their customers and workforce cultivate stronger connections and build loyalty across both external and employer brands. Authentic, inclusive storytelling elevates underrepresented voices and drives measurable business results, helping brands navigate complex expectations from various stakeholder groups. 
In this episode of The New Mainstream podcast, Kate Smiley, Head of Global Employer Brand at GE Healthcare, emphasizes that in an era of skepticism, trust is essential. By combining storytelling, research, inclusivity, and emerging technologies like AI, brands can build authentic relationships and achieve real business results.

Welcome to Belonging and Beyond: Exploring Belonging Through How We Live and Die, brought to you by Princess Alice Hospice with your hosts Rach Basak, Head of Community Involvement and Support and Sarah Dowd, Head of Inclusion.
In this series, we’ll have honest conversations about inclusion, belonging, and the barriers created in society for some. Together with guests from all walks of life, we’ll be unpacking big questions like: What does belonging look like? Who gets to belong? And how can we build communities where everyone feels seen and included?
We are excited to be here and hope it sparks reflection, connection, and maybe even change.
Today, we’re honoured to be joined by Shirley from One Voice 4 Travellers, a passionate advocate for Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller women, girls, and families. Shirley’s story is one of strength, community, and lived experience as a woman from the Romany community. 
In this episode, Shirley guides us through the unique customs and rituals surrounding dying, death, and bereavement within the Traveller community. We’ll hear how these traditions shape experiences of loss, and why understanding and respecting them is so important—especially in healthcare settings, where cultural understanding can make all the difference.

[Verse 1]
They say I’m too quiet, too loud, too fast
Lost in my thoughts, like I’m stuck in the past
But I’m tracing the stars they can’t even see
In a world full of noise, I find symphony

I don’t fit their mold, and that’s just fine
‘Cause the straightest lines miss the richest design
Got a brain like jazz—no script, just play
You can’t box the wind when it wants to stay

⸻

[Chorus]
I’m wired this way, not broken, not wrong
Different rhythm, same old song
I see the world in colors you missed
Neurodiverse and proud of this
No shame in the sparks that light my mind
I move through the world on a different time
Let me be me, don’t need to be cured
I’m not a glitch—I’m part of the world

⸻

[Verse 2]
Got labels and files they try to assign
Like ADHD’s just a fault in design
But I see the patterns before they show
I learn sideways, and still I grow

Dyslexia’s dance in a sea of words
I twist the letters into songs unheard
Autism isn’t a cage or chain
It’s another language carved in rain

⸻

[Bridge]
I’m not your puzzle to be solved
I’m not your cause or problem to evolve
Don’t pat my head, don’t say “so brave”
Just give me space, and treat me the same

We don’t need fixing—we need the floor
Where every voice gets to roar
So listen close, don’t just observe
You’ll find genius where you thought “nerve”

⸻

[Chorus – Repeat]
I’m wired this way, not broken, not wrong
Different rhythm, same old song
I see the world in colors you missed
Neurodiverse and proud of this
No shame in the sparks that light my mind
I move through the world on a different time
Let me be me, don’t need to be cured
I’m not a glitch—I’m part of the world

⸻

[Outro]
So here’s to the dreamers, the quiet and loud
The ones who think deep, who stand out in crowds
We’re not less—we’re just another kind
Of beautiful chaos, in tune, redefined

This is an AI Generated Podcast based on two conversations with ChatGTP, which involved tens of thousands worth of words. The Sharing of entire support ticket threads and email chains with SL Executives. 
For Additional resources I also fed it the last 24 "Dense" videos from the main Second Life Youtube account. 
As Philip's Recent Talk at SL22B Talked a lot about inclusivity I very much focused on that, Where the issues are and what can be done about them.... 
At the moment I am emailing Brad, Patch, Phillip and Brett... I tracked my emails for the sake of my own sanity. ((Nothing worse than waiting on replies when you do not even know even the emails have been seen. )) As such I can say definitively that all my emails to them are opened usually multiple times... 
I have not received an email reply since March.... 

I did also make a official submission sharing this track using the official method..

Will be interesting to see how long that stays active...

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes with when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'd like to even out my follows versus followers numbers. I'm following way more than I'm being followed back. 😢 Hope that makes sense? 😘
