"Valarie: Power to you!
As coordinator of the [Borough President]'s Queens General Assembly, I am privileged to hear and share stories with diverse civic activists from around the borough. Thank you for reaffirming the importance of this process, and for teaching us about post-9/11 Sikh-American struggles in a most profound way."

"The film was awesome. I represented the Sikh youth for the Youth for Human Rights at the UN. It would be really great if you showed the film there."

"I strongly feel we all are created by one creator. So why the 'hate'? He dwells in every heart. If he dwells in every heart, how can we hate each other? Process to educate our friends to make them understand why we look different...
