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

The older you get, you always learn more. Sometimes it's a process of learning about yourself and what your journey is.

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.

The things that scare you only make you better and stronger.

You have to get out of your comfort zone in order to grow.
