Quotes:
- "If we can find what interests you, what you’re really passionate about, then we can start to direct effort toward that."
- "I think that my interests were completely normal, but given where I was in the community that I grew up with, it was like coming from another planet."
- "If someone had taken the time to talk with me at 15, 16 and really talk with me, I think that would have really changed my life."
