“Love is the most powerful thing. It's what we in Hawaii call aloha—love, respect, and compassion for one another. It's not just a feeling. It's not weak or passive. It's a powerful force that motivates us to take action, to stand up for what's right, to fight for our freedom. Love for others, and for our country, is what motivates me to serve. It's what motivates my brothers and sisters in uniform to put our lives on the line to defend the security and freedom of the American people.

That love is what gives each and every one of us the courage to speak the truth, especially in the face of adversity, threats, and criticism.

It gives us the strength to fight for what's right and the humility to forgive those who've wronged us, overcome our differences, and move forward.”

“It’s more important than ever to show readers that they belong here and are allowed the experiences that come with being a teen: confiding in a best friend about a crush, gushing about a new album from their favorite artist, making mistakes because they aren’t perfect, and even plotting comedic revenge tactics against ex-boyfriends as a way to mend their broken hearts.”

“The root cause of racism is hatred based on mistakenly identifying someone as the color of their skin. When we know and accept the truth that our bodies are temporary, and not who we really are, judging someone based on their race is as crazy as judging someone because of the color of their shirt.”

“If we sincerely want to end the cycle of racism and hatred in our society, we must draw inspiration from the example of Dr. King, John Lewis, and the Freedom Riders who responded to extreme hatred, racism, and violence with peaceful protest, love, and a positive vision for what is possible when we truly live aloha.”
