I know that I cannot change the entire world, but I've always believed I can at least affect change in my world.

I became a chameleon. My color didn't change. But I could change your perception of my color.

Now everyone has eyes, and now everyone has evidence. That's really changed how we tell the news and what we get from it.

I was lucky to come along for the ride. [My mother] really is an amazing woman. And the world we lived in in South Africa at the time was a very matriarchal society because so many black men had been removed from the home.

[My mother ] will write me an email, and it'll be Shanah Tovah. And the next day it'll be something else, Baruch Hashem Adonai. And I - I'm lost half of the time, but that was the world that I grew up in.

In America, there is no racial segregation. I'm not sure I'm quite familiar with this phrase.

It was just how my parents treated me. It was the world they decided to show me. I was really sheltered. My grandmother kept me locked in the house when I was staying, you know, with the family in Soweto. And every household, for instance, had to have a registry of everyone who lived in that house.
