Having Zoe saved my life. It was my wake-up call. There were so many things I didn't want to pass on to her.

I felt devalued and disrespected. The energy behind it felt disingenuous and motivated by corporate profit.

I was literally the black sheep of the family, and there were definitely moments of discomfort while my grandmother was working through her racism.

The chimpanzees in the zoos do it, Some courageous kangaroos do it Let's do it, let's fall in love. I'm sure giraffes on the sly do it, Even eagles as they fly do it, Let's do it, let's fall in love.

There's always stories about cute girls in the gym, I'm just not one of those people.

When you do things for the right reasons, eventually no matter how long it takes, people will take notice of it and can't help but respect it.
