YOUR BEST PIECE OF ADVICE:
I have two quotes that hang on my wall across from my bed that I wake up to every morning (that are prints made by my dear friend Essie): "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced" - James Baldwin, and (in Hebrew), "You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it" - Pirkei Avot 2:21

IF TIME AND MONEY WERE LIMITLESS, I WOULD:
Redistribute the money, cook elaborate meals, bake elaborate treats, and have people over every night to share food, stories, and schemes for how we can fundamentally shift our society towards safety, community, happiness, and abundance for all.
