✅"One of my favorite things is that lightbulb moment when someone realizes for the first time that they have the power to transform the systems that impact their life. Once that lightbulb is on, it’s hard to turn it off; to unknow the exciting possibilities it illuminates."

✅"Fund this kind of work wherever it exists, recognizing that while it is highly concentrated among women of color and trans and non-binary people of color, not all people who identify this way are necessarily doing this kind of work. Be careful not to tokenize or essentialize"
