Lewis is the definition of a hard-working and dedicated advocate. She is the main person behind the Vision & Justice Project, the first issue of Aperture Foundation Magazine, and is the author of the book, "The Rise."

She's also just an all-around incredible person, as you can tell from ALL of her achievements!

Lewis challenged us to think outside of the box and understand that just law alone hasn't gotten us to this point in history. She pushed back that law combined with our social narratives and norms help shape the culture around us and how we view things in out everyday life.

And, guess what?

She's right.

Lewis broke this down further on Instagram into four categories and questions, that you can see below:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines.
