“One of the things I appreciate about living in a society built on balance and homogeneity is the fact that it tries to make everyone feel like they aren’t different, but therein lies its downfall. This unflinching need to not recognize and amplify what makes each of us uniquely beautiful means some very deep issues are often skimmed.
We are in fact all perfectly different, and what makes us different needs to be fully celebrated within society.” – Lola Akinmade Akerstrom – In Every Mirror She’s Black.
