Quote: I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act. It is an act that can be met with hostility, exclusion, and violence. It can also lead to love, understanding, transcendence, and community. I hope that my being real with you will help empower you to step into who you are and encourage you to share yourself with those around you. - Janet Mock Join the Conversation Follow us: @Venn.Dialogues on Instagram  Music Thanks To: Royalty Free Music from Tunetank.com Season 1 Track: Old Streets by Crystal Squad Season 2 Track: Future Love by Squares
