Kelela
American Musician
The act of me just being robust in the world is so radical - it's so radical for a black woman to think she's going to be a star, because it takes so much to get there. It's still a battle every day, but I feel happy because I feel like I cracked the code and figured out how to work through it. Now I want to give the map to other women.

Franklin Foer
American Writer

And therefore, I think our humanity is, in some ways, the thing that's under existential threat.
