A Passion Project

January 16, 2024

Welcome to this little passion project of mine!

You see, I often use quotes in my work and personal life. Grounding myself in the words of others brings reflection, clarify, and connection.

It is very apparent how the bite-sized quotes that can easily be found on the internet and promoted on social media platforms often come from one group of people, is I will often intentionally seek quotes from individuals within underrepresented groups. To hear different perspectives, ideas, experiences, voices.

I have learned how difficult they can be to find.

And it makes sense. For hundred of years, people in underrepresented groups didn’t have a voice so there is less of a collection.

Maya Angelou said, “If you don’t like something, change it.”

So let’s do that, shall we? I don’t know exactly how, but let’s start here…I will collect quotes from people who are in underrepresented groups that are not already found in image form on the internet and then create shareable images to highlight these meaningful words and voices so they can be put out into the world!

Let’s amplify voices together!
