"I am a student of photovoice in what I learn about my own heart and in what I learn from the people who take photographs, tell stories, and advocate to policy makers... Had it been in my power, I would have given you the moon."

"CBPR is more than these tenants of what constitutes community engaged research. It's about really thinking about how you are going to demonstrate your commitment to a community... and to keep that respect intact regardless of what the institute might demand of you, because they're often at odds. And I think that keeping that front and center really shows your commitment to the process and your authentic respect of the process."
