The music of the westerner comes from Africa, whether they like it or not. The majority of the instruments of the music, of the pop music, rock and roll, or R&B, hip hop, whatever it is, their roots trace back to Africa. So if you are black, white, yellow, or red, whatever you do, it doesn't matter, because your DNA is back in Africa.

For me, from the point of view of my life, I've been impacted by women that taught me that, as a woman, my body is a sanctuary, that whoever I invite in my body, I have to be clear in that invitation.

From the moment you are clear in your vision of yourself and how you project that vision in your family, your community and in the world, that's all that matters.

My legacy is not only about legacy, it's about how we as a human family learn to live together within our difference.

What we have to learn from the women of Africa is that every day is worth living.

Dream big, as long as you do it in sync with your truth, with your heart, your brain. And you are not hurting anybody, go ahead and do it.

If you're on stage and you're more concerned about your dress, and then you think that the public is accessory, you got nothing to do there.
