He/Him
what makes me hopeful?
Humans have a tendency to figure things out eventually. Progress is not smooth, and sometimes things get worse before they get better, but one day we will fix the bad practices that harm our society, and our planet.
what makes me angry?
The world is an extremely unequal place, both within countries and between them. It makes me angry when people do not acknowledge their privilege, and do not show empathy to those less fortunate than themselves. We all have sources of privilege, which we can pay forward as gifts to others.
