Social Justice Leader
His social and judicial activism has inspired me. After reading Stevenson's book, Just Mercy, I could not wait to meet him.

Speaking out and standing with marginalized people when it is neither comfortable nor convenient. I am inspired by Dr. King in part because he was so young when he made such an impactful solution to social justice and exemplified leadership in action.

If Black Women's "equal pay day" is in August, Native American Women's "equal pay day" is in September, and Latinx Women's"equal pay day" is in November, than OUR "equal pay day" is in November. Every woman is important. That is real feminism. -Dana Bozeman
