I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida.

If I'm remembered for having done a few good things and if my presence here has sparked some good energies, that's plenty.

I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.

I am the me I choose to be.

If the image one holds of one's self contains elements that don't square with reality, one is best advised to let go of them, however difficult that may be.

So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was.

I have always been a learner because I knew nothing.
