Not everyone is the same. You can't label a person just because of what they do or what they've done.

I'm a black man that is proud to be black, and I want to help the black community, but I love all mankind.

Sometimes you come from your community, and then you rise. It's like, okay, when do you get back rooted into your community? A lot of times you can rise in the ranks and maybe leave the core of where you come from.

When I see people of my likeness, or who are somebody that I feel connected to, doing something great, I fee like I can do it. It gives me some hope and vision.
