My drive to impact the world comes from knowing what it feels like to be helpless. Because of my various identities; black, lesbian, asexual, and female, I often find myself in situations that are uncomfortable and potentially dangerous. Although I wish that it was possible for me to live unapologetically and boundless in all of these identities, more often than not it feels like the better option would be to walk around with a caution sign on my back to announce both that I am here and that I am just as uneasy as all those around me about my presence.

The infuriatingly endless forest blurred together in shades of murky greens and muddy browns, my foot pressing steadily on the gas as I blew past my first official welcome to my mother 's hometown.

If we provide kids with safe spaces they will not grow in maturity, they will just be sheltered and fall farther behind everyone else.

These threats should not be taken lightly, “Nearly a fifth of students are physically assaulted because of their sexual orientation” (PflagNyc). Creating safe places and educating these people on what homosexuality is, and having them realize there is nothing wrong with it; before long we can help these children who are being harassed daily.
