Quote:
“We are all brothers and sisters and human beings in the human race” - Marsha P. Johnson
Why I chose this quote:
This quote comes from Marsha P. Johnson, as a foundational pillar for the Transgender Liberation Movement. I chose this quote because it serves as a reminder that while each individual contains a variety of perspectives and intersecting identities, we can all relate to the desire to be accepted, included, and uplifted.
I am proud to be a part of Generation Hope’s mission, which embraces a holistic approach to advocacy for our Scholars. By supporting the full spectrum of their experiences as members of the human race, Generation Hope creates tangible pathways for empowerment and success.
