“I have a very fundamental belief that every person deserves equal treatment, equal opportunity, and equal access to basic necessities. It just sparks something in me whenever I see any kind of social injustice. There is this very real anger and frustration seeing the way society is now, how people just kind of take society for what it is when it isn’t the way that it has to be. That’s what drives me, that this is not how it has to be and this is not how it will be if I have anything to say about it. Obviously I don’t love every person that I meet, but I believe that every person should be treated with respect. Everyone has the same rights that I do and I’m willing to fight for that.”
