Equality is giving everyone a shoe. Equity is giving everyone a shoe that fits. Justice is when we don't need to give everyone a shoe because they can get their own shoe...a shoe that fits.

Wasn’t ready for this today—today we lost a titan, an icon. She was a writer who made us feel seen all the way down to our bones. When I say rest in power, it’s with the knowledge of all the power she’s given to the rest of us. Keep empowering, empress. 💔🙏🏿

Add images and arrows to prevent tests from being reading tests.

So important! 🙌
