I love what the church offers to us as a culture - black people in particular. We would be nowhere without the black church.

Every choice in life either moves you forward or keeps you stuck.

When you give up on life, never give up on yourself, because there is so much for you to keep on giving!

I consider this world to be like a school and our lives to be the classrooms.

No matter who you are, no matter what your culture is, it is absolutely possible to look out and extend yourself in such a way, that you can connect to other people and find that we are more alike than we are different.

Meditate. Breathe consciously. Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment. Make the connection.

I believe that you tend to create your own blessings. You have to prepare yourself so that when opportunity comes, you're ready.
