“Words have the power to form our experience and thus our reality. The more unnecessary apologies we make, the more we unwittingly convince ourselves that we are at fault for everything — even a vicious crime in which we were the terrified victim.
We are a generation that arrived pre-empowered thanks to the work of our moms and grandmothers and great-grandmothers. We’re smart, we’re ambitious, we’re hardworking, we’re determined, we’re badass, we’re brilliant — and we’re still so very, very sorry.
I wonder when we’ll stop apologizing for existing.”
