Hey there! Audre Lorde's quote is all about how using the same systems or methods that created issues might not solve them. It's like trying to fix a broken bike with the same old tools—it might not work, right? Instead, it could mean finding new ways to tackle problems, outside of what's already established. In today's world, it's definitely about questioning norms and seeking fresh perspectives to create real change. What do you think? How do you see this quote playing out now?
