Leadership is a choice one makes.

We just have to convince other people that they have power. This is what they can do by participating to make change, not only in their community, but many times changing in their own lives. Once they participate, they get their sense of power.

Once I learned about grassroots organizing, I got so enamored with it because I thought 'Wow this is the way you do it!'

Once you see the outcomes and the results, and you see how many people are helped and benefitting, you want to keep on doing it because it's so simple.

Giving kids clothes and food is one thing, but it's much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people.

If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others?
