“Finding your voice may look like this, like we're talking right here, speaking out, but finding your voice also means writing it down. There's ways to find your voice, maybe like journaling, finding a way to step up and get out and feel that fear and get uncomfortable.” - 00:06:18
“Every time somebody else shares their story, let's say that, when somebody shares their story with me, I feel that they're reclaiming a part of them, that there's fragments of themselves that had been lost." 00:29:45
“Practice love. Practice being love. Try to find a way to define yourself as love because that is the catapult to everything. ” 00:47:07
