Most of us have some form of privilege we can be thankful for. I also think when we are able to recognize our own privilege, we can begin to recognize inequality without feeling threatened. And maybe then, we can live more generously toward those around us."-Lolo Jones, Over It: How to Face Life’s Hurdles with Grit, Hustle, and Grace
