“That’s really what my work is all about – bringing kids together.”

I pray for my enemies, that God would forgive them.

Evil looks like you and I. I know what evil looks like, and I know that it comes in all shades and colors.

Kids come into the world with clean hearts, fresh starts.

My mother and our pastor always said you have to pray for your enemies and people who do you wrong, and that’s what I did.

Love is Love. Better to Love than Hate!!!

Evil isn’t prejudiced. It doesn’t care what you look like; it just wants a place to rest. It’s up to you whether you give it that place.

Learn from these monuments, whether we like them or not, and put them in their context.

When I think about our babies today and them not being safe in school, I think that should be the next civil rights movement, you know, is to ban the assault weapons so that our babies can be safe.

A lot of my strength came from my upbringing.

Bravery knows no age or gender.

Racism is a grown-up disease, and we should stop using our kids to spread it.

Our elders said back then that if Black folks really wanted to see Change, they had to step up to the plate and do it themselves. Somebody has to be First. Will that be you?

Today and Everyday I stand against Injustice and in solidarity with our Asian, Asian-American & Pacific Islander Brothers and Sisters.

We all have a common enemy, and it is evil.

I believe in my prayers.

I felt like there was something I needed to do – speaking to kids and sharing my story with them and helping them understand racism has no place in the minds and hearts of children.

What is an adult? A child blown up by age.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

The best thing about it is you’re showing kids that no matter where you grow up, what race you are, that you can achieve your dream.

Quit thy childhood, my friend, and wake up!

If children are to be educated to understand the true principle of patriotism, their mother must be a patriot.

My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?

I go through life like a karate kid.
