I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist. And my reality is that we live in a multifaceted, multicultural world. And maybe once we stop labeling ourselves, then maybe everyone else will.

Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.

I do believe that everyone has something to contribute.

Where I'm from, you learned about God before you learned to read and write. Our faith is what grounds us.

We know longer live in a homogenous society, it is not black, white, Asian or Latin, it is a melting pot. Until we learn to assimilate and learn about other cultures, we will continue to have racism problems. Of course, there are other '-isms' as our ills. We have sexism, ageism, elitism, homophobia-ism, there are many -isms we have to overcome.

I have an affinity for the law. I like looking at the small type on contracts, and if I could have afforded law school, I probably would have gone.

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