We started the week with DGFG Live, #VolunteersWithAVoice Story Hour with Marlon Hill. Marlon Hill is a Business Lawyer, Advocate, Strategist, and a Fellow with the Miami Foundation.
Marlon was born in Jamaica and raised in District 9, he is a first-generation American and Hall of Fame alumni of Miami Southridge Senior High School. He is known for his activism in the community in support of issues such as voter education, civic engagement, etc. Marlon has served as an avid advocate for impacting communities of color.
Marlon joined us for a reading of Pass it On by Sophy Henn, a story about giving, sharing, and joy. The message of the story resonates with what Marlon believes. He is a strong believer in using our gifts to better the world. “We all have different talents, we all have different resources and relationships and the key thing about using everything in your tool chest is just using what you have to pass it on. Some of us have time….. Some of us have special talents, where we can be artistic or we’re resourceful or we have good relationships and when you realize what you’re good at. You don’t have to give money, you can give what’s in your tool chest and so we all have special gifts given by our creator. The most important thing is recognizing what your creator has given to you and to make sure that the world benefits.”
