“What I love about Neill's Blomkamp work is that his stories are small human stories. But what's interesting about Neill's movies is that they're set in the future but they're so incredibly timely that it feels like maybe in the present in the next dimension. It feels like it's happening now. The universe is very recognizable, in many ways.” UniverseInteresting Author:Sigourney Weaver
“I think that's what I really dig about science fiction these days - we've caught up to it in a way. It's no longer about people with huge brains. Now it's really much more, as Jim Cameron says, the nature of being human. What it is to be human in society. How to retain one's humanity in society.” PeopleThinkingHumanityBrainScience FictionBeing HumanCaught Up Author:Sigourney Weaver

“Throughout my childhood, I had served as an interpreter for my family. When I left home, I also left the Deaf community. I'd had enough of being a de facto intermediary and wanted to find my own identity. But, over time, I learned to embrace both cultures and find balance between them. I love my Deaf and CODA family and hope they would be proud to call me one of their own.” EnoughHomeCultureCommunityChildhoodIdentityProudBalanceMy FamilyEmbraceCall MeBe ProudDeafInterpreter Author:Kambri Crews
“Being a figurehead for those with family members in prison is somewhat new for me. Something I've discovered since my father's incarceration is that the prison system is broken. My first-hand experiences have taught me that reform needs to happen sooner than later. I'm most interested in mentoring children with parents in prison. When a parent is sentenced to a jail term, the child is sentenced to the same time to be spent without a mother or father. No child should suffer a stigma or lack support and guidance because of the sins of a parent.” ChildrenMotherSufferingFatherParentTermSinSupportBrokenPrisonGuidanceStigmaMentoringIncarceration Author:Kambri Crews
