Interview with Baroness Bas Reuven

Growing up as the only Jewish kid in town, Marakay Rogers learned early on what it felt like to be bullied.

Christ killer, they called her. She didn’t know what it meant, but she knew it wasn’t nice.

Her mom told her she needed to stick up for herself – and others.

That value resonated with Marakay.

“Everybody deserves respect,” she says.

She’s been fighting for civil rights and volunteering her talents to help others ever since.

“There are a lot of monsters in our lives that we discover are much smaller than we thought when we actually face them,” Marakay says.
Why are we here if we can’t use what we’ve got to help other people?”
