“If you cut yourself, if you hate yourself, if you eat, if you don’t eat. If your parents split up, if your parents hit you, if your mom tells you you’re a piece of trash. If you got in a car crash and half your face is gone - wake up in the morning and give yourself a shot. Do it. Not for music, not for any reason other than the fact that you are alive and you were given the grace to wake up another day. So do it, man.

“My mom was a housewife, and wasn't somebody that people would think of as a feminist, and when Ms. Magazine came out we were incredibly inspired by it. I used to cut pictures out of it and make posters that said, "Girls can do anything", and stuff like that, and my mom was inspired to work at a basement of a church doing anti-domestic violence work. Then she took me to the Soidarity Day thing, and it was the first time I had ever been in a big crowd of women yelling, and it really made me want to do it forever.” PeopleThinkingWantFirstsMadeSaidBigsUsedGirlStuffCan DoChurchForeverCuttingViolenceMomFirst TimeInspiredFeministCrowdsMy MomMagazinesDomestic ViolencePostersYellingHousewifeBasementsInspired To Work Author:Kathleen Hanna

“My mom experienced racism. She was harassed by the KKK several times. And I experienced racism myself, growing up. In New Jersey, we had trash thrown on our lawn every day.

That's probably why I still don't put up any lights during the holidays.” Growing UpCuttingMomRacismMy MomHoliday Author:Aldis Hodge
