I really want to help stop violence toward women.

What I have found is that even when you try to transform existing structures they are so powerful they often overwhelm, seduce, and control you.

I want to read so I can read the Koran read the signs in the street know the number of the bus I'm supposed to take when I one day leave this house.

We're in a crisis. We're in a crisis like I don't think America has ever known in my lifetime. But we have to keep joy in our lives, love in our lives, poetry in our lives, dancing in our lives.

In America, we have a government that is now run by white nationalists, by billionaires, by incredible misogynists.

There is a global epidemic where one out of three women will be beaten or sexually assaulted in their lifetimes? How are we going to build a future of love and connection? And why would this not be of utmost concern to men?

When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.
