I'm too good for assimilation.

I'm not so Pro-Israel'I'm Pro-Africa. Africa's greatest enemy of all time is the Arab Muslim Empire'they enslaved us for one thousand years and have committed untold atrocities and genocides against the East African people.

I'm not a 'strong warrior queen' like people think. I spend most of my day cooking and doing things with my sons.

I have never received full credit from the SPLA [Sudanese People's Liberation Army], because the men are very sexist and feel that I'm acting out of place, bringing too much attention to myself - but for the funeral of our leader John Garang, they had me write the poem "Chol Apieth" to eulogize him, and that was their way of acknowledging my contributions.

I was born to an Arab father and I was born Islamic.

When I couldn't speak English, I loved silent films circa 1914-1929, Abel Gance being my favorite director.

I'm not at all against white people adopting black children, because we're all human beings who need to give love and be nurtured in safety, but I do think it's better to be adopted by blacks.
