“We’re really taught to accept pain in a number of different forms,” Julious said. “You’re told to push through it, to ignore it. When you are in this world where you have to fight against racism, fight against sexism, fight against all these different things going on … you learn that whatever physical pain you’re feeling does not ultimately matter in the grand scheme of things.”
