Episode Quotes:


On self-confidence - "I think it's immensely important for children of color to believe that they can do and achieve anything."


About putting in the proverbial 10,000 hours - "They say that’s a myth but I think there's truth to it in some ways. Practice makes perfect.”


On self-teaching - "It helps if you just put in a little bit of discipline and a lot in believing in yourself."
