And it's based on what they say, or what they look like, or what they wear, or who they're hanging out with, or who they agree or disagree with.

Additional quotes by Loretta Ross

Do the work, but also make sure you intentionally bring joy into your life because our job is to look at the worst things people do to each other, the ugliness–what I call the vomit of humanity.

Even if you can't see the changes that you want to see immediately, you just keep on doing the work and eventually they will radically change in a way that's totally unanticipated but at the same time is what you're working for.
