We're gonna invest in the company.' And then the attack on Israel and the subsequent reaction on the Palestinian people caused a few people to take back their support."

Kindness, oftentimes, is done in quiet that nobody sees." "Vulnerability is important because it allows people into our stories and allows people to see us for us and then better see themselves."
