Prisons are like the concentration camps of our time. So many go in and never come out, and primarily they're black and Latino.

Everyone has their story. Everyone has issues. You have to face your fears.

Having Zoe saved my life. It was my wake-up call. There were so many things I didn't want to pass on to her.

My mother, brave woman, lost her whole family when she decided to marry a black man in the 60s. When the marriage fell apart, she had to come back to her family.

It's from our sufferings that we form our consciousness.

Having a mate has given me that feeling of safety.
