Harris also acknowledged the uncertainty many people feel in today’s rapidly changing world, urging the audience to respond with purpose and unity. She reminded them that while they can’t control every circumstance, they can control how they show up for others—with compassion and authenticity. “Every time you speak up,
every time you encourage someone else to keep going—you create a ripple. And those ripples build waves of change,” she said. Ending her speech to a standing ovation, Harris left the audience empowered by the simple yet profound truth that bravery, kindness, and connection are the real drivers of progress.
