" I always say human first amongst everything, amongst all of our differences. Whether it's 'social economical', cultural or experiential, whatever it is. The one thing is we are human first. Instead of looking for what is different, look for what you have in common. Look for where you can make connections and always understand that you are capable of making that connection. If you just pause, if you just pause and just for one second, imagine that you are that other person and what they're feeling."
