Quotes:
“So we’re sharing black joy and just celebrating the holiday the way that we grew up celebrating and in a way that’s more accessible.” - Jasmine Hudson, (6:40)
“The only other non-negotiable that I can think of is just making sure we understand the intention behind the ask…because we don't want to be like the diversity check mark. Like are you actually invested as an ally and can we see that in the work that you do and the results that you turn out?” - Jasmine Hudson, (19:30)
“I think it’s also very important to specify what their version of authenticity is…when you’re approaching a community that you may not have much experience interacting with, you don’t get to tell them what you think is authentic.” - J’Aaron Merchant, (21:13)
