What I feel now is connected to people. I feel connected and I feel a lot of love for people. I feel the possibility of what building social movements and what working together in struggle creates. Whatever that energy is, it feels a lot better than what I felt when I was younger - which was worthless and disconnected and isolated and alone.

If you just look at the fact that a woman was central in twittering the Cairo revolution, and women were central to the Tunisian uprising.
