“I don’t think there’s any perfect way to protest. I think if there was something else being done, something else would have been said about it. I can’t look back and say thatI would have done this different, this different or this different. I can sleep at night knowing that I genuinely tried to have a really important conversation, or at least tried to open it up. Ithink I came to it with an open mind, an open heart and tried to get as many people to talk about it as I could.”
