As someone who has ADHD, I have always struggled with people telling me that I was too sensitive and so emotional. There were times in my life when I thought that as well.

In reality, this sensitivity is a natural part of the human experience. Instead of trying to eliminate it, we need to embrace it and use it as a powerful tool for social justice.
