"Our resilience is not found in isolation, we can't self care ourselves into reliance. It rests on relationships. Deep, nourishing relationships that remind us that we are significant, appreciated, invested in, and depended on. That we matter." - Jennifer B. Wallace at #SXSWEDU 2026

"Young people's sense of mattering rest on the mattering of the adults in their lives. True mattering is balancing your own needs with the needs of others... We could feel like we matter so much to everybody else's needs, but ours are never prioritized." - Jennifer B. Wallace at #SXSWEDU 2026
