"I just want to be affirmed, seen, you know, compensated, and respected. Those are the things that come to mind that help. But of course, those things happen through systems often, and so I think about the policy, so I don't know if I have an answer for the specific policies or practices that would help me get there, but I know the feeling I want to have." - Abram Jackson
