“How could you love us being together?" he asked me "We are nothing alike and we are not meant for each other and we drive each other crazy, you love that? How can you love that?" So I told him "I know that we're not meant for each other, that we drive each other crazy, and that we are so different. But that's us. That's what we have; a wild nonsense. We are not good together, but together we are bad for each other. I love us together this way just like this. Because even if it's no good, it's what we have! It's us.”

“Your current life situation should be the one motivating you to go and register to vote. People should not push you or beg you to go and register to vote. If you are not happy the way things are. If you are not happy with loadshedding, corruption, service delivery. If you’re not happy with the level of crime, health system, unemployment. If you are not happy with politicians , biased Media, Foundations, NGO’s , NPO’s, NPA, Judiciary , laws, institutions, police, or president. Please do yourself a favor and register to vote and vote.  I know most if not all parties don’t inspire confidence. But it is better to take a chance on something than leaving things the way they are and allowing other people to have a say about the things that will change your life.”

“Bella inspired this book through a series of questions and conversations that circled around how people live together. Growing up on Maui (and in California), she has observed the challenges of food production, housing, global economies, and environmental losses. She has watched people lose their options, and people fall through the cracks in systems. As a father, it is emotionally cutting to see pain and heartbreak in your daughter's eyes, to witness her start to realize social equations do not calculate toward equity. Her brilliance across these conversations has been the ever-present solutions, her ingenuity and moxie, and the art for creating visions for change. She inspires me to be more present with each choice that circles around her future.”
