I always have been an activist for things that were just authentically a part of my life, that I felt connected to.

But as for activism, my parents did what they could, given the constraints, but were never involved in the causes I think of when I think of activists.

I didn't wake up and decide to become an activist. But you couldn't help notice the inequities, the injustices. It was all around you.

I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.

I don't necessarily see myself as an activist, running down the street and knocking at every door.

I was involved in some peaceful protests.

I grew up with protests, marches, demonstrations, struggle. But I come from a clan of community workers.

I was raised with no religious training or influence. Except the influence was to be a moral and ethical person at the secular level. And to be a peace marcher, an activist for civil rights, peace and justice.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can call myself an activist because I don't really do enough of anything.
