I think we’re living in a time where we need some healthy optimism. We need some dreamers—some people who aren’t afraid to dream bigger dreams. I’ll be one of the first to criticize or be critical of someone who is tone-deaf or blind to racial or gender issues. But at the same time, I don’t want people to be stripped of their bigger visions for community, and being together, and their belief in what love does when it’s allowed to flourish in our communities. As much as people might think I’m being naive and superficial, I still want to hold on to the possibility of hope and joy.
