Power is intoxicating.

I keep people around me that have the freedom to challenge my heart and motive.

My mom used to get involved with the Black Panther activities in Los Angeles. For me it was more about how to view my consciousness on these issues with a biblical framework.

Keep compassion close to your chest at all times.

I don't spend too much time attempting to defend myself against people who seem to have zero desire to have a substantive conversation.

The more I read the Scriptures I find an overwhelming case of Scriptures being concerned with the poor, outcast, widow, foreigner and marginalized.

I wanted to create an album that spoke all the musical languages I loved.
