- I'm an activist,
but it's hard to process so much death and pain sometimes.
- The thought that I could have a son
and he could just be taken from me at any minute
and people expect me to just, kind of,
sit there and be passive about it.
Who wouldn't be angry about that?
- I'm an activist, but I'm not angry.
I just get angry when people are ignorant.
- The world won't change just because we wish it to.
We'll have to work to make it happen
and that work is hard and slow and painful sometimes
but it requires real work to change things.
- I'm an activist, but I don't speak for all black women.
It's just like, the many different crossroads
that black women sit at,
so I'm a black woman but I relate to black girls.
I live in a world of semi-privilege.
- I'm an activist and sometimes I'm angry
because there should be justice.
Why are we?
We always have this discussion
because we should have justice.
- I'm an activist, but a lot of the things that
I stand up for I've never experienced first hand.
- Activism is a commitment to figure out
how to change the world to be a better place
and that comes in many forms.
There's no one type of activist or one type of activism.
- The idea of equality isn't something that's just an idea.
It's something that we can actively change,
that we can make happen.
- I want for my kids and my nephews and nieces
to be able to be comfortable in this world.
- I have the luxury of choosing to be an activist
and I think more people should choose to be an activist
on any level.
- I'm an activist, but I use comedy as my vehicle of change.
Comedy is about truth, so it helps me to be honest.
This way, people can see the truth and laugh about it
and maybe they think about it later and say,
"Hmm, maybe that's something that needs to change."
- I'm an activist,
and without justice there will be no peace.
- I'm an activist and I think that social media
does affect real change.
- I'm an activist, but I'm not always conscious of it.
- I'm an activist and I am super shy.
- I'm an activist and I know that the movement
is bigger than me. It's bigger than you.
It will take all of us to win.
