Compassion Quote by Iliza Shlesinger

“I don't know what it's like to be mocked because of your skin color. I don't know what it's like to feel overweight. All I can do as a woman is have compassion, treat other women with kindness, and allow them to just be happy and not judge them for it.” quote by Iliza Shlesinger
