Narcisse praises the witnesses' strength and leadership. She says their willingness to testify and speak with love will push back against hate and urges them to keep using their voices.

Mercedes Narcisse

I was just going to add that your strength.

Mercedes Narcisse

Willing to testify, willing to have the conversation, is what's going to make, it's just with your love, with driving it, will push out the hate toward anyone else that come behind you.

Mercedes Narcisse

So you're taking the lead.

Mercedes Narcisse

You are leaders and continue being the leader and advocate and make your voice not let no one shadow your voice, but let your voice be out.

Mercedes Narcisse

And you have the greatest advocates around here, too.

Mercedes Narcisse

So keep on coming, telling us, and then we'll be, you know, making sure that we do what we're supposed to do in our end.

Mercedes Narcisse

Thank you for being here.
