Since Session 1, I’ve continually thought about this: “EVERY decision needs to be made through a critical lens bent towards social justice.” - @BernsteinCT #EDLR5402

“I am fundamentally an optimist... Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair.” #EDLR5402
