Amandla Stenberg Quotes
If I didn't end up talking about the things that I care about, I wouldn't be myself. I didn't like the idea that I would be a different person on the internet than I would be in real life.

And I recognize that I already have a built-in platform that I can utilize so easily to actually do something.
