“There are so many layers that as a society we are unwilling to hold at all times. We have our own limitations. But I think this time is necessitating the value and importance of hearing everyone’s story. It goes back to what you were saying about what it means that you have to engage with yourself and your privileges. You have to actually see yourself wholly and complexly and all the things that you hold. Then you can actually hold someone else’s full self as well.”
