Labels limit to display the full identity of a human being and the nuances of their essence. Labels breed judgement and assumption. I want to be part of a collective that increases our consciousness, towards better ways of engaging in our everyday relationships.
I lie to people when they ask me how to curse in Spanish. You haven't lived until you've heard a grown man angrily scream "Adorable Kitten" to a stranger.
I've volunteered to help the elder teach younger people.

There was an old guy on the street that said hi to me in Chinese, so I stopped to say hello because "你好" is not something you usually hear come out of an old white guy's mouth. Turns out he just wanted to share the stories of his travels with someone. Boy were they some stories to share.
I think it's important for Americans to ask themselves why they are labeled by others, how they are labeled, and why they label others what they label them. It's about conversation surrounding the right questions.
I currently intern at my university's counseling center and I'm trying my best to encourage people to be more vulnerable in order to build resiliency. Validating a person's reality and their personal truth can be very powerful.

I volunteer at a shelter near my school once a week so the homeless children who are staying at the shelter can have time and space to play around and simply be kids.
Because I believe that the way a person looks should never stop you from finding out his or her story.
