Frankie Saturn
“Creativity flourishes with practice, collaboration, and a willingness to embrace failure—not as a personal shortcoming, but as a challenge to the systems that tell us our ideas must be perfect or profitable to matter.”
― Frankie Saturn, You Are Creative: Free Yourself to Free the World

Sam Mbah
“...anarchism is irreconcilably opposed to capitalism as well as to government. It advocates direct action by the working class to abolish the capitalist order, including all state institutions and value systems, anarchists work to establish a social order based on individual freedom, voluntary cooperation, and self-managed productive communities.”
― Sam Mbah, African Anarchism: The History of a Movement
