From Healing through Personal & Collective Transformation: Jezz Chung – Into Healing S2, Ep.3:
“I’m this vessel, and I don’t have access to myself because I’m believing all these lies or limiting beliefs or things that I’ve been taught, either from my family or by culture at large. We’re in these times where we have to know ourselves.
Audre Lorde says, ‘If you don’t define yourself for yourself, you’ll get eaten up and chewed up by everyone else’s definition.’ So I think once I discovered revolutionary writers and thinkers like Audre Lorde, like Grace Lee Boggs, James Baldwin, June Jordan—all these people—then I finally had a sort of guiding star for me to look at and say, okay, there are people who have found themselves despite the systems that have tried to suppress them.”
