Quotes:

“Part of the reason I'm so passionate about the things that I am is because I know what it's like to live in a world where you're not necessarily wanted, you’re excluded and  you're pushed aside.” 

“If we're really gonna talk about equity beyond black boxes and anti-racist statements on your website, show me where the money is going. Show me that you're putting your finances behind the things that you say you believe.”

“For somebody of African descent in this country, you are always as good as what you could produce. Always as good as how you can help the bottom line.”
