The world would be a paradise of peace and justice if global citizens shared a common definition of love which would guide our thoughts and action.

All too often we think of community in terms of being with folks like ourselves: the same class, same race, same ethnicity, same social standing and the like..I think we need to be wary: we need to work against the danger of evoking something that we don’t challenge ourselves to actually practice.

I don't have issues around how I'm identified.

Representation is a crucial location of struggle for any exploited and oppressed people asserting subjectivity and decolonization of the mind.
