Adrian Pei
“In the most blunt and pragmatic sense, diversity is optional to many white organizations, because their historical success has not relied on it.”
Adrian Pei, The Minority Experience: Navigating Emotional and Organizational Realities

Lily Chu
“People sometimes have trouble when your face doesn't match your culture. They come to me with ideas of how I should be, what I should eat and like and think. If my grandparents were from France, no one would expect me to go around wearing a beret or come to me for baguette recommendations. I was raised here. Apart from my appearance, there's nothing that connects me to China. It sounds like I hate being Chinese. I don't. I love being who I am. I only wish other people could accept me for me and not make up a person based on my appearance.”
Lily Chu, The Comeback

Weike Wang
“Was it harder to be a woman? Or an immigrant? Or a Chinese person outside of China? And why did being a good any of the above require you to edit yourself down so you could become someone else?”
Weike Wang, Joan Is Okay

Justin Whitmel Earley
“[Nothing] was as helpful as talking about failure-- because failure is where we live. Failure is not the enemy of formation; it is the liturgy of formation. How we deal with failure says volumes about who we really believe we are. Who we really believe God is. When we trip on failure, do we fall into ourselves? Or do we fall into grace?”
Justin Whitmel Earley, The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction

Michelle Obama
“It remains a damning fact of life that we ask too much of those who are marginalized and too little of those who are not.”
Michelle Obama, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times
