“I see social justice as the empowerment of communities for the ability to thrive. And not just survive….[the] overall, holistic wellbeing of each individual. I see it as the ability to feel empowered in, in our bodies, to feel whole, to feel well. Um, to feel loved…I think part of the work of justice is having people understand their bodies, and feel connected to their bodies. And understanding how our bodies relate to other bodies.”
