All my experiences removed geography from my world.

It's obvious that the rest of the world loves high African culture - African culture, period.

When people campaign for positions, they promise people all kinds of things.

My biggest obsession is to show Africans and the world who the people of Africa really are.

I am a forward-looking person and live in the moment to build for the future.

I just came from South Africa, a place that had been in a perpetual uprising since 1653, so the uprising had become a way of life in our culture and we grew up with rallies and strikes and marches and boycotts.

I don't think what I do is influenced by suffering. I come from a talented people who are prolific in music and dance.
