“Think black love, think universal love. Just think love.”

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

I think everything happens in time. There’s a time for everything. There’s a time to be in a group, and there’s a time to be solo.

Fighting for equality is a celebration of independence. Fighting for black lives is a celebration of independence.

We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.

If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black

We need some creative tension; people crying out for the things they want.

When one of us shines, all of us shine.
