“Finally, remember that it's not your job to keep your kids happy. Big emotions don't need to be fixed, they need to be felt.

“But anger expressed and translated into action in the service of our vision and our future is a liberating and strengthening act of clarification, for it is in the painful process of this translation that we identify who are our allies with whom we have grave differences, and who are our genuine enemies.”
Audre Lorde
