"Your presence, position, and voice, are equal in both legitimacy and importance." 
"Our lives are murals with no name, until we give it one...I believe we all have a language by which we can tell our story...Our stories and the series of stories inside us, complete with dominant and subordinate plots, experiences and themes; are critical chapters in a larger narrative which is why we must fight so hard to articulate it and give it a name...so that your story may do the important work of speaking truth to power."  
Wilson Okello
