When I walk home at night I don't have to worry about anything. But when a woman walks home at night she gotta think about a lot of different things.

Nate ParkerI can't remember ever having a conversation about the definition of consent when I was a kid. I knew that no meant no, but that's it.
Nate ParkerWhen you're in a relationship with someone you have to be in control of that relationship and you have to be as open as you can about everything, straight up, out the gate.
Nate ParkerAt 19, if a woman said no, no meant no. If she didn't say anything and she was open, and she was down, it was like how far can I go? If I touch her breast and she's down for me to touch her breast, cool. If I touch her lower, and she's down and she's not stopping me, cool. I'm going to kiss her or whatever. It was simply if a woman said no or pushed you away that was non-consent.
