"(If you are a white person...) We are asking you to dismantle a system that benefits you. Why? For your humanity. For your soul." @BLoveSoulPower @RaceResearch#RRJConference2020
"We need to make sure we ask the right questions. ... Teacher training is not the solution. Go at the structure. That's how we make change." "You have to decide between incremental change and tearing the system down for a new one." @BLoveSoulPower @RaceResearch#RRJConference2020

"You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn’t do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger, yes. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it." #MayaAngelou
