Drawing on our own experiences and the words of others (including: Diane Ackerman, bell hooks, Sonya Renee Taylor, Martin Luther King Jr., RuPaul Charles, and Grace Lee Boggs), we explore the topic of love: loving ourselves, loving others, and the potential for love to create profound change in the world. Other topics also emerge, including (but not limited to): sacrifice, mystery, worth, colorblindness, calves, credentials, and reality television.
