"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences."
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."
"The beauty of standing up for your rights is others see you standing and stand up as well."
"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced."

I am someone who values authenticity, growth, and embracing the beauty of diversity. I believe in living life true to oneself, and in the power of individuality to shape the world around us. Through creativity, passion, and self-expression, we can all make meaningful impacts in our own unique ways.

I believe that authenticity is the greatest gift one can give to the world, and that true strength comes from being unapologetically yourself.

• "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Embracing the unconventional and defying expectations is something I value deeply.

• "You have to be odd to be number one."– Dr. Seuss

I enjoy exploring new ideas, diving into creative projects, and connecting with like-minded individuals who share a passion for progress and self-expression. Whether it's art, technology, or discussions that challenge the status quo, I always strive to learn and grow.

Some of the figures that have shaped my understanding of the world include:

• Oscar Wilde – For his wit, wisdom, and unapologetic individuality.
• Harvey Milk – For his courage and advocacy for equality.
• Lady Gaga – For her advocacy for love, freedom, and self-acceptance.
• Ellen DeGeneres – For her humor, kindness, and leadership .

Like many, I have faced challenges in learning to embrace who I truly am, but I’ve come to believe that every journey is unique and worth celebrating. Life is about creating oneself, and I aim to always be true to who I am, no matter the journey I am on.

• "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." – Oscar Wilde
• "Love is the only reality, and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation." – Rabindranath Tagore
• "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." – E.E. Cummings
• "The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud." – Coco Chanel

Feel free to connect with me here or on any platform where self-expression and authenticity are celebrated. I enjoy meeting others who are passionate about individuality, creativity, and progress.
