“To truly be committed to inclusion and diversity, we have to recognize and constantly be aware of our own identities and power in interactions.”

-Oladapo, 2016

“... once we can place ourselves within the context of diversity, recognizing that our diverse identities shapes how we see and interact with the world, then we can have more empathy and community for others who may be marginalized. This is empowering and it empowers others. If we are in positions of power within our communities, it should be our duty to empower and build up others.”
