“People don’t believe what you say unless you prove it.”
“Whiteness is the norm or likes the dominant culture, and then everything else is different. And compared against whiteness.”
“We do the best we can until we know better. And once we know better, we do better.”
“If we want all people to be able to live their best and fullest lives, and then there are things that we can do to help create more access and opportunity every day in our choices for that to be true.”
