what is velocity blog?
we're pretty much just a bunch of young people who love to be inspired, engaged, and active.
the word VELOCITY comes from middle french velocité, from Latin velocitat- ; akin to Latin vegēre, meaning, essentially, to enliven.
VELOCITY was created to showcase the thoughts, actions and opinions of young people our age (the so-called 'millennial generation'). we are doing things that are inspiring, interesting and engaging in our communities, and we are interacting with today's world in ways you might not expect.
the ideas and interviews on VELOCITY demonstrate the fact that sometimes 'experts' are wrong, especially when it comes to young people. We believe that even when it appears that participatory civil society has been lost, there actually exists an entire vibrant culture of dissent and activism occuring in every community.
to read a short dissertation by VELOCITY's editor about this blog's overarching mission and philosophy, and to learn about VELOCITY's authors, check out the 'about us' section above.
many things inspire us here at VELOCITY:
crazy, random experiences.
people getting involved in something.
unique, weird ideas.
unapologetic happiness.
a crowd's excitement.
what inspires YOU?
