"If you're not actively engaging, having conversations and learning how to be inclusive & welcoming to people in the community, then we have a stalled feeling where we have to be aware of what part of us we are putting forward instead of just feeling completely comfortable & accepted in the environment."
Alexandra Viney
"If I could go back and speak to my younger self, I would... remind myself that every giant leap I was too afraid to take would one day look smaller, and that my queerness would become something that brings both strength and joy to my life."
