“I would say you have to check into your emotions, what you believe in. If you have a passion for human rights and you want to make a stance, make sure you do your homework and have a clear understanding of why you are making the stance – what you anticipate in terms of bringing to society. And be prepared for any challenges or questions that come to you thereafter.”
From Tommy Smith
“What happened in Mexico City wasn’t done to hate the flag. I love the flag. It was the platform I had to make others realise we need love, joy, and not hate.”
