There are moments where you stop living, if you stop changing, and if you stop seeking growth of some sort.

To be silent is to be passive.

I can only be the best version of myself and understand that the only way that we as a people can heal is to understand that the next person's journey may not be your own, but it doesn't mean that you have to marginalize them in any way.

I do believe that everyone has something to contribute.

You can't be from Montgomery, Alabama, and not have a background in the church. It's at the core of who we are as a people.

I don't think you learn as much about yourself when you are moving forwards as when you have fallen backwards. That's when you really learn who you are. And reach for the things that have propelled you forward and made you a better person.

I'm not a fan of 'Gone With the Wind.' I didn't like the movie. I didn't like the book.
