“Nevertheless, She Persisted “
Sometimes the ultimate act of resistance comes in the shape of living your life. There may be people who dislike you for whatever reason: for who you are, for what you represent, for what you look like, for whom you love. How do you stay alive when others don’t want you to? In these cases, you resist simply by existing. However, this may not be as easy as it sounds. In some way, big or small, we are all resisting.
