“What can I say? That I thought my life would change completely when I started to communicate, and now I know it isn't going to? That my greatest challenge is not learning to communicate but being listened to? That people don't hear what they don't want to, and I have no way of making them listen?”

“Just because some Africans enslaved rival tribes before European arrival, doesn't mean all Africans enslaved. Buying/selling humans was unthinkable to peaceful tribes like our Lenape, and the San of Africa.”

“I call it "Higher Power" not to exclude any cultures/religions, as I feel everyone is pointing in the same direction, with different names, from different perspectives.”

“People on the streets are dehumanized the same way settlers dehumanized the Indigenous, to steal the land of abundance at gunpoint, to tax the land to the fullest.”

“Whatever else they talk about, though, I’ve come to know that there are three topics women will return to again and again in conversation: their husbands, who are often disappointment; their children, who are usually wonderful; and their weight, which is always too high. Again and again, I hear them commiserate with each other about how difficult it is to make men more responsible and diets more effective. While I don’t understand their problems with their husbands, my heart always sinks whenever I hear them talk about calorie counting. Women seem to think they go on diets in order to feel happier, but I know from experience that this isn’t true. In fact, I can safely say that the less women eat, the grumpier they get.”
