‘That’s just what translation is, I think. That’s all speaking is. Listening to the other and trying to see past your own biases to glimpse what they’re trying to say. Showing yourself to the world, and hoping someone else understands.’

The Underground Railroad

Lyon’s Quotes

“But you had to be who you were to get to who you are. Every page in the story is successive; they’re all numbered and bound like a book.”
― R. Eric Thomas, Here for It; Or, How to Save Your Soul in America: Essays

“As psychologists, we have learned that if we study hidden bias by the traditional method of looking for expressions of negativity or hostility directed against out-groups, if we measure it by counting the number of out-group churches or mosques that are burned down, we may fail to see the far more pervasive ways in which hidden biases maintain the status quo, depriving those on the bottom rungs of society of the resources available to the more privileged by birth and status.”
― Mahzarin R. Banaji, Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People
