I enjoy being the messenger for God in terms of letting people know about HIV and AIDS.

There's Michael [Jordan], then there's the rest of us.

The looks, the stares, the giggles . . . I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read.

I want to be here for a long time, so I am going to do everything I have to do to be here. And I want to walk my daughter down the aisle and give her away to somebody some day. I want to make sure I am still here to make sure my two young [sons] become men.

God blessed me with two unbelievable parents, and I am just like both of them. I have the smile and charisma of my mother and the big heart of my mom, because she wants to save the world and help the world, so I am just like her.

I'm a big believer in dreaming. If you don't dream it, you can't become it.

I was able to see what I wanted to do, I could see the opportunity, even when others could not, and I stay committed to doing it and doing it well, no matter what.
