To me, #CitizenBear means recognizing your own potential impact in the community. From confronting others who use non-inclusive language to getting involved in the local community for service, true citizenship is utilizing your skills and abilities to better the world in which we live. Be willing to step up, listen, learn and engage, as those are the types of people our communities need to grow and develop.~Tamarah Dixon, Hall Director, Blair-Shannon
