Abstract
The eloquent words of Dr. Elena Quintana (IPSSJ Executive Director at the Adler School) brought it home for me at a Strengthening Chicago’s Youth meeting. She essentially said, “We cannot be afraid to serve people who need resources”. I cannot be afraid or scared of the very people I intend to help. I cannot have prejudices or stereotypes to influence how I view people. There is a totality of positive perception that is unmasked by our genuine effort that creates an instant feeling of being valued by the people we help. This is the essence of being an interdependent ally, and this is at the heart of social justice. Other people’s struggles is intertwined to your own oppressions, and in unison, you embrace and support one another.
