Dear Mr. _____I hope the school year is starting out well. I was concerned by the lack of women on your 11th Grade English Reading List. Can you help me understand your choices? Thanks so much. - Jacqueline (Toshi’s Mom)
“I was just being myself” isn't an excuse for disrespectful behavior. It signals a lack of concern for others.
Authenticity without empathy is selfish. Authenticity without boundaries is careless.
Be true to your values, but show regard for others' values.

When a man argues with an umpire, it’s passion.
When a woman does it, it’s a meltdown.
When a black woman does it, it’s a penalty.

What you do matters.
What you say matters.
No matter how big the fight
Or inevitable the conclusion seems
Stand up.
Speak up.
Wrong, temporarily victorious
Is never greater than Right, forever vigilant.
