Who told you to step on my sneakers? Who told you to walk on my side of the block? Who told you to be in my neighborhood?

I can fish from a stick and a string.

For me, what I try to heal is the major thing that I think all of us go through, where we came from. From our family of origin.

We're living in a time where we want to be entertained but I think part of what people are looking for, that they don't even know they're looking for is to be uplifted in many ways.

My advice for achieving success is to make a career choice that reflects your passion. Then work your craft a little bit each day - even if someone's not paying you to do it. Try to balance your social life with your educational (or professional) life, and have patience.

In my culture, my mother's sisters are also my mother. And my father's sisters are my mother's, too. So I have many mothers. My mom has a fierce love for her children. And she's known to say things like if you die I'll kill you.

I feel that if you can transcend the color of your skin, with your talent, why carry that as a badge or a label?
