“Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.
Bryan Stevenson is a lawyer that works on appeals cases for justice-impacted individuals who have been wrongly convicted or received an unjust sentence. He walks through his life, stories of the individuals he’s advocated for, the failures of our criminal legal system, and the resilience it takes to continue standing against injustice. I’m inspired by his resilience and the resilience of those he is fighting for/with.”
“If I could instantly master any skill, I would choose to be fluent in ASL. I have taken ASL courses before and loved being able to learn more about the deaf community. It’s really amazing to have the ability to connect with folks who are too often excluded from parts of society because of their different abilities.”
“Lean on and show up for your people! The human experience is shared by all of us. Like James Baldwin has referenced, our pain and heartbreak are not unprecedented. We can get each other through the dark parts of life that will inevitably come.”
