“There’s very few shows that truly reflect specific ethnic experiences, and when they come and come right, they’re a hit.”

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and seasonally lived in New Orleans and Boston.

I have a unique ability to mock everything. I’m a sponge by nature, thats what my environment made me.

I’m reminded everyday that I was born to do great things, I believe that and when it’s my time I shall.

It feels good to turn on the TV and have options, a variety. That’s why television is so good.

Actors don’t act, we’re just being in a different circumstance and scenario.

I know when to go and when to stop. I’m the red, the yellow, and the green light. That’s me in a nutshell.

As for super-stardom, I can say that I’m ready for anything. I feel like I’ve mastered so many stages in my life and the cool thing is, I don’t see that energy changing anything.

I think it’s really important to teach our children about their lineage and it especially makes a difference if you share that information while they’re young.

I’ve always been an actress, entertaining my family was the start. I’m a goof ball among many of my cousins and siblings.

I think it’s a beautiful thing how Hip Hop is received by the world.

I’m just vibrant. I try to bring that to everything I do.

You’re living in a matrix that’s driven by social media. It’s become glorified. You’re suppose to be what you portray on social media, thats the perception.

Therefore they do what’s in their hearts, they understand the influence and attract it.

It feels good to watch TV and know that you’re being represented on somebody’s network and for certain communities, it feels even better to know that you’re being depicted truthfully.

Honestly, being a part of any worthy life story is a goal of mine.

Tweets are published in less than a second, Safari pages load in less than three seconds.

As an Italian-American, I have a special responsibility to be sensitive to ethnic stereotypes.

Supporters of the national front, Mosaddeq, believe that in Iran, we don’t have a nationalities problem, we don’t have an ethnic problem.

Every ethnic group has this where people within it will try and tell each other how they should be.

We should remember that the Pashtuns are the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan.

It is a world of increasing dissension and conflict in which a significant contribution is the failure of different ethnic, tribal, religious, or social groups to search for, and agree upon, a common space for harmonious co-existence.

Ethnic stories specifically need variety in content period.

You go to school, you study about the Germans and the French, but not about your own race. I hope the time will come when you study black history too.

Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself.
