“You do not have to be me in order for us to fight alongside each other. I do not have to be you to recognize that our wars are the same. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities. And in order for us to do this, we must allow each other our differences at the same time as we recognize our sameness.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

“There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.”
― Audre Lorde

― Shokoofeh Azar, The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree
