“My birth name is Constance, so I never had to deal with people trying to bastardize my name. There was a scene [in Fresh Off the Boat] where I go to my professor and he says, ‘I don’t call on you because I can’t pronounce your name.’ I say, ‘You could learn to.’ And he says. ‘But most people probably won’t.’ It made me realize how it must have felt for my oldest sister, who didn’t have an American name. That was very moving to me. There were a couple of takes when I just started crying.”

But this is what I’ve learned the hard way: what people think about you means nothing in comparison to what you believe about yourself.

This whole bro code thing where if a guy dates his friend’s sister he’s betraying the friend is wild, you would think your sister dating your friend meant you didn’t have to worry because he’s someone you know and trust but it just goes to show how all these bros know one another to be misogynistic and predatory and regularly exhibit that behavior around one another, and it’s all fun and games and bros before hos until somebody hits on somebody’s sister. Like, clearly you are aware that you are all gross to women but that’s okay with you as long as you and your friends are targeting random women and no one is doing the same to your sister or mother? Why do women have to be related to you for it to occur to you to respect them?

Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained

Let the past rest, but let it rest in the sweet embrace of Christ. Leave the broken, irreversible past in His hands, and step out into the invincible future with Him.

What I have since realized is that if people expect you to be brave, sometimes you pretend that you are, even when you are frightened down to your very bones.

The Equal Justice Initiative is building a memorial for lynching victims — and it’s about time.

The Equal Justice Initiative announced on Tuesday that it will build the first-ever national memorial to lynching victims in Montgomery, Alabama. Titled “Memorial to Peace and Justice,” the EJI project will sit on six acres of land that used to be a public housing project in Montgomery. 

The structure will include the thousands of lynching victims’ names on concrete columns, which will represent hundreds of U.S. counties where the acts took place. The memorial will also coincide with the opening of a museum.
