For me, tolerance is not about others, it’s about accepting my own uncomfortable emotions as I adjust to a changing view of myself as imperfect and vulnerable. As human.”
― Debby Irving, Waking Up White: And Finding Myself in the Story of Race

“If you can do nothing else, do whatever is in your power to make the people in your life feel completely unashamed of who they are.”
