Josie Long presents stories of role models about the humanity of others and seeing ourselves in someone else. From 2017.
What can we learn from the humanity of others? From seeing ourselves reflected in someone else? Josie Long presents stories of role models.
"You know, vampires have no reflections in a mirror? There's this idea that monsters don't have reflections in a mirror. And what I've always thought isn't that monsters don't have reflections in a mirror. It's that if you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves... Part of what inspired me, was this deep desire that before I died, I would make a couple of mirrors. That I would make some mirrors so that kids like me might see themselves reflected back and might not feel so monstrous for it." - Junot Diaz
