“We are a symphony with one instrument playing all the parts. To make the symphony as dynamic as can be instruments must be given to other players.”
Alice Wong, Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life

“Sometimes a peach is just a peach. Sometimes a peach is a cosmic portal to relationships that sustain and tie us to one another.”
Alice Wong, Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life

“The many identities you hold and your lived experiences are not in conflict with each other; they make you sharp, whole, and extraordinary”
Alice Wong, Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life

“I think of storytelling as a chance to know ourselves better, to really question wh oare are, where we've been, and who are want to be. Each person has an entire universe of stories inside of us. So my question to you all is, what is your story and how do you want to share it with the world? If you aren't ready to share tell your stories to yourself and let it nourish and guide you. Most importantly, your stories should please you and you alone. And when you are ready to share it, it'll be out there with other disabled narratives pushing back at that status quo.”
Alice Wong, Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life

“One of the biggest things that's so toxic about ableism and capitalism is this idea that our worth is based on our productivity. We are interdependent. We know there's more to our worth than just whether we're taxpayers or whether we can work fort or more hours a week”
Alice Wong, Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life
