i could never be like audre lorde. actually, what audre lorde believed. audre lorde always believed she was a genius, not a humble person, not even as a child. this is why we have all her journals. she was like, i know i'm important to this planet, but she thought that was what she had in common with you. she was when she would say, i am a black lesbian feminist warrior poet doing my work, come to you. are you doing yours? it was because she thought your work was as important as her work. so you also are a genius. you also are so important to this planet. and i think sometimes we lose that. or maybe it's our copout when look at these people and were like, what a great figure. but me i don't actually have the power to change the and. that's not what audre lorde believed at all. and i'll have you know, as a person who spent a lot of time in audre lorde's papers, she procrastinated to just like you do, just like i do. she didn't know what to say. sometimes she was afraid. a lot of the time she, had nightmares all all of these things that for her were a part

and the iconic words of audre lorde you know, we have to none of us are free until all of us are free. and that is not just the saying. it truly true. because why anybody care about the anti-gas movement if you don't care about other marginalized people and their struggles and you know, speaking about representation, i think we have to obviously go further than that. but we also have to be mindful that we are at this nascent stage of the movement, putting in the rest of the world. so we have to start with first seeing how we can get to voices and then we can look at for the dismantling the structures. i'm not that has to happen. one after the other. the representation that comes from trans folks, from non-binary people, from women is looking dismantling structures already. and that goes hand in hand with. yeah, i feel like that's such an excellent sort of close this like moderated q&a with me. we would like to open up for questions. how much time we have with the we have a group we have so much time for questions. um please. the mic when you do so and try to try to make them questions
