“I believed, and still do, in the virtue of hard work. The ability to persist matters more than talent, forget about genius. The fates would reverse themselves. Our luck was bound to change.”

It’s action. Attention. The willingness to hold space for stories that challenge us.
We’re thankful for the writers who keep pushing the world forward, one sentence at a time.
