”Racist ideas and bigotry across different areas not only prevents us from recognizing the full humanity of the other, but in being unable to recognize the full humanity of the other, we're actually not able to live in the full humanity of ourselves.” - Dr. Ibram X. Kendi

“Institutionalizing a thing that has existed within human relationships since the beginning of humanity, that is philanthropy, dehumanizes it by definition.” - Marcus Walton
