I hope this writing will make it enjoyable for people to do the usually hard work of examining their beliefs and biases to challenge power structures and open themselves up to the idea that they might have something in common with another person whom they may have previously written off, or even seen as irredeemable. This work is essential, not only in terms of the joy and fulfillment that relationships with others can bring us on a personal level, but also on a larger scale, allowing ourselves to be open to hearing and discussing solutions for society’s problems from a wider pool of people.
