QUOTES

Anne: “I don't cry gold, but I will say that I have learned to understand that tears are gold in so many ways, and and allowing ourselves to cry can be one of the most empowering empowering things that we do”

Anne: “We are the system, and the fastest way to change the system is by empowering ourselves and becoming that change.”

Anne: “It's not about being the awesome person who saved the polar bears. It's actually taking it back home like, do you want to be breathing polluted air?”

Anne: “If we don't have hope, what do we have? And I think the same applies to optimism, where you can't just choose optimism.”

Anne: “We need to stop acting from fear and start embracing curiosity, excitement, joy and optimism. We are here to do something fantastic.”

Anne: “Awareness hurts, and that's okay.”
