"I'm excited that we are evolving. I'm always open to change. Change doesn't always feel comfortable. I've gone through the whole light-skinned/dark-skinned thing back in the '90s.

"Now we [still] may not be where we need to be. It's beyond diversity, it's inclusion. We don't just want to see us, we want to be in those writers' rooms, we want to be executive producers, we want to be showrunners. It's change that is constantly happening but we want to make sure that the change is for the better. That's the main obstacle that we'll have is sticking to change and making sure it’s for the better.”"

"Injustice has a very dangerous ripple effect that must be combated right from the beginning. Imagine society as a pond disturbed by a pebble thrown into its still waters. The ripples created by this disturbance represent the far-reaching consequences of injustice. When a group is denied basic rights or faces [unreasonable] discrimination, the impact extends beyond the immediate targets. A ripple effect ensues, affecting neighboring communities and eventually damaging the entire social landscape. Grave injustices go on persisting everywhere around the world, including in democracies. Even if it is to a lesser extent than in totalitarian, dictatorial or autocratic regimes, it should never be underestimated or disregarded. That is the reason why social justice is increasingly put at the centre of international, national and regional policy agendas."

"One of the best ways to build up a global citizenship identity is through travel. …The more you can travel, the more global you are becoming as a human being. …Rather than relying on second-hand accounts or media representations, travellers can engage directly with people from different backgrounds, fostering mutual respect. …Travel provides individuals with opportunities to develop and strengthen global networks. International travel often results in lasting friendships and connections that span continents."
