I wanted to create a story that would address America's history, successes, and problems while pointing to a hopeful resolution. I wanted it to be told from the perspective of an "Everyman" point of view.

God gave us creation to enjoy it. I believe this is the reason we fight against injustice so that all of creation can experience the beauty of God's goodness and grace.

Joy and pleasure is at the end of the justice. A right understanding of who God is and who we are in His creation.

Keep compassion close to your chest at all times.

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.

You can be a dreamer, but don't live in your bed.

I keep my eyes and heart bent toward Jesus, therefore no human response can distract me from the Kingdom agenda.
