“We get a lot of props for self-sacrifice, especially as women. We’re taught that that’s what we’re supposed to do. And I have learned the hard way that, when we take care of ourselves, fully and without apology, we are in a better place to take care of others. [Mutual aid] allows space for that.”

“Mutual Aid allows for a form of reconnection to oneself and their community. It births hope, and in hope, there's a joy that makes everything better. At the end of the day, you can just be like, it's not perfect, but it's alright, it's okay, I'm not alone.”
