“No one is truly equal and free until everyone is equal and free.” ~ Helen Zia
This Dazzler of the Day crowning feels like a superfluous and almost frivolous honor compared to the work that Helen Zia has done for her entire life. Activist, journalist, and freedom-warrior, Zia has dedicated her life to advancing justice for Asian Americans and LGBTQ+ community members, and all the various intersectional spaces where marginalized people exist. It’s a war she has waged since the 1980’s, and sadly needs to continue now more than ever. Check out her website here for further evidence of her brilliance.
“There are many lessons to be learned from refugees and migrants that can contribute to the understanding needed to navigate the global tectonics to bring people together, not drive them into flight.” ~
