On Voting and Representation

  • "I'm so excited to see that kind of representation [with Kamala Harris]. You know, for me, being biracial — growing up, whether it was a doll or a person in office, you need to see someone who looks like you in some capacity... As many of us believe, you can only be what you can see. And in the absence of that, how can you aspire to something greater than what you see in your own world? I think maybe now we're starting to break through in a different way."
  • "We vote to honour those who came before us and protect those who will come after us, because that's what community is all about. That's specifically what this election is all about."
  • "We can and must do everything that we can to ensure that all women have their voices heard. If we aren't part of the solution, we are part of the problem."
