“Black people don’t just face death at the barrel of a policeman’s gun or within our medical system. Life is taken from us on a daily basis, through housing discrimination; through the inability to get or maintain a job that allows us to pay rent, have health insurance, and buy food; and through under-compensation.”
― Breeshia Wade, Grieving While Black: An Antiracist Take on Oppression and Sorrow

“Power is a two-way street, and while many people seek to pervert it by hijacking the power of others, hoarding it, or simply misusing it, we must be aware of the ways in which we contribute to power’s corruption by giving others access to our own power source.”
