“I just assumed that at the time if I could display a talent worthy of praise. . . that I wasn't just who you thought I was, I thought I wouldn't be fat anymore. That may seem silly, I know that now. But at the time, I thought that if I could just get the world to see me the way I saw myself, that my body wouldn't be the thing you walked away thinking about. I wouldn't be that fat girl, I wouldn't be that dark skinned girl. I'd be Gabby I'd be human”

“It had been more than a year since the Joker’s conquest of America and we were all still in shock and going through the stages of grief but now we needed to come together and set love and beauty and solidarity and friendship against the monstrous forces that faced us. Humanity was the only answer to the cartoon. I had no plan except love. I hoped another plan might emerge in time but for now there was only holding each other tightly and passing strength to each other, body to body, mouth to mouth, spirit to spirit, me to you.”
