• "The truth I want to highlight is that we are all human beings first, and we should strive to make that truth visible." 

• "We must challenge artificial separation, we must be able to go into our history and see how forces have separated us for their gain."

• "I need to write about the injustice/atrocity so that I can understand what must be healed, how the injustice manifested.”
