Favorite Quote about Culture, Equity, or Empowerment: there were way too many I liked to choose (or seemed kind of extreme lol), but I think this one is most fitting: "Navigating in a space that questions your humanity isn't really living at all. It's existing. We all deserve more than just the ability to exist." – George M. Johnson, All Boys Aren't Blue
