Inspiration

"The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house" is a famous quote by American writer, Black feminist, and Civil rights activist Audre Lorde. The social theory suggest that because our differences were used as tools to divide us, we must use those differences to make us stronger. Washington always showed admiration for Lorde, and used her theory as inspiration to create her games.
