“I put these stories to paper for this country’s forgotten children, past and present, who grow up cloaked in fear, desolation, and the belief that their very existence is wrong, their very being illegal. I have been unfathomably lucky. But I dream of a day when being recognized as human requires no luck – when it is a right, not a privilege. And I dream of a day when each and every once of us will have no reason to fear stepping out of the shadows.”
