Quote by Leah Myers

“I had been terrified of Arizona cops since high school when more than one threatened to deport me during traffic stops. Being a US citizen didn't mean anything to them when my complexion wasn't light enough. I was always scared that they wouldn't bother with the paperwork and instead would take matters into their own hands to get rid of me.”

“The concept of “social justice,” which purports to promote equality among the lines of gender and ethnicity, is based on intersectional feminist theory. Per the theory, certain classes of people are naturally oppressors, while others are victims. There’s nothing more divisive than that.”

“Racism is the ultimate societal bug, spreading its nasty influence far and wide. But here's the kicker: unlike those pesky biological viruses that have us reaching for hand sanitizer, this one's entirely curable. All it takes is a potent mix of education to disinfect ignorance, a hefty shot of empathy to build immunity, and a collective action booster to wipe it out for good. It's like a global vaccine campaign, but instead of needles, we're armed with open minds and big hearts.”

“Fate is a delicate thread. Every action we take, every decision we make, alters its course. Imagine walking along a path and reaching a fork. You make your choice, but you can’t escape what life has in store for you. Only the sequence of events changes.”

“Soneto de Fiestas La Navidad no se trata de decoraciones, Se trata de compasión. Hanukkah no se trata de las sufganiyot, Se trata de unificación. El Ramadán no se trata de comida, Se trata de cariño. Diwali no se trata de luces, Se trata de la ascensión. Nuestro mundo está lleno de festivales, Pero ¿qué significan realmente? Al celebrarlos con exclusividad cultural, No somos humanos sino animales salvajes. Cada fiesta pertenece a toda la humanidad, Porque la felicidad no tiene identidad religiosa.”
