Quotes:

“A sense of urgency is the tenant of white supremacy”

“I don't think black people should be watching other black people being murdered. “

“I am the embodiment of knowing what it feels like to not have wellbeing in the workspace of not being safe in the workplace”

“Lived experience matters.“

“If I could be got no matter what, then I might as well live as freely as I possibly can for myself and stop subscribing to their rules and regulations and prescriptions and the white math and all the other white shenanigans that white people create to govern themselves and the rest of the world.”

“Our freedom, until the world systems change, can only be ascertained in ourselves, that's the only place we have it.”

“I'm not sure how we end racism when people still believe in the construct of race.”
