Jasmin Graham

“Because suddenly what I wanted more than anything for my children was what he had wanted for his - identities formed from within - for our mirrors, in other words, to first and foremost reflect humans.”

“Corporations do not feel compassion. Sickness and loss do not move them. Appealing to their humanity is not an effective political strategy.”
Andrea Freeman, Ruin Their Crops on the Ground: The Politics of Food in the United States, from the Trail of Tears to School Lunch

“I don’t know about you, but I want to do more than just survive. I want to live. I want my life to have purpose and meaning. I want to leave the world better than I found it.”
Jasmin Graham

“The USDA is responsible for feeding students who cannot afford lunch. Letting empathetic strangers pick up the tab falsely frames poverty, food insecurity, and discrimination as individual, not systemic, issues”
Andrea Freeman, Ruin Their Crops on the Ground: The Politics of Food in the United States, from the Trail of Tears to School Lunch
