More quotes by Ja'Tovia Gary

Using what you have to make what you want, I’m obsessed with the notion that the idea of the thing outweighs the materials.

It’s not about being exclusionary, it’s about centring who I believe are the most vulnerable people in society. The people who are my reflections.
