Issues Quotes

One of the issues I kept saying to my students is you have to learn to interrupt. When you raise your hand at a meeting, by the time they get to you, the point is not germane.

I have a very personal interest. I am a Miami-Dade voter. One of the issues is that my vote and so many other votes of women and African Americans in Florida are being discounted or discarded. I want my vote to count Picture Quote #1

After graduation, I wanted to work for ‘Sassy’, which I loved, but it had folded. So I wound up at ‘Seventeen’ for three years on staff and two as a contributor, and I wrote these great stories that nobody ever believes ‘Seventeen’ does. Serious stories for teens about social justice issues - gun control, migrant farm workers Picture Quote #1

When you are raised Catholic, there is one thing that you are confronted with at a young age, and that’s death. You’re confronted with all the big issues - and that sparks deep questions, like what the hell are we doing here, anyway? Picture Quote #1
