“In the inmost recesses of consciousness, The wound opening inwards, The spirit too proud to admit an injury, Incessantly grazed and torn again By the insensitive, the enemy that hates Difference, quality that escapes submission To common complacency, impure hypocrisy- That would annihilate what is uncommon, Challenging their meanness, their lack of standards With something electric and alive, a vibrancy That offers not a new Heaven and a new Earth But life, more life and light- To be rejected. - The Parting”

“Culture is not genetic. Rather, culture is learned behavior that is passed down from generation to generation and changes over time. Yet, we so often associate culture and diversity with one’s appearance rather than with this learned behavior that changes with time, place, and context.”

“With diversity things I know people are always like, "oh don't force diversity!" I'm of the opinion that if I read your book and at the end of the book I'm like, it's kinda weird that there are no black people in this? Bad world building. The way I find easiest to explain especially to people who are maybe hesitant to change, is that if you took 100 random people off of the earth and were like "here's 100 people!" The chances of every single one of them being pale white and straight are very unlikely. So when I read a book and you introduce me to over a hundred characters and every single one of them is pale white and straight, it's bad world building. It doesn't feel like a real place to me.”
