I believe these relationships are important. I also think it is possible to define ourselves solely as individuals... We have the power to define ourselves: by telling our own stories, in our own words, with our own voices."<br><br>Never-before-published in book form, <em>The Type</em> is illustrated throughout and perfect for gift-giving.
