I seek to widen, narrow narratives of women of color.

Black women have been cultured to compare not connect.

How I grew to believe Black hair has power, genius, and magic in it, defying gravity and limitation. I mean, look at how marvelous it is: Black hair grows up and out.

Hair is what connects women in Dakar and Detroit, Oprah [Winfrey] and Opal [Tometi] the Black Lives Matter activist. There's a story in every kink, curl, and coil.

Being an Image Activist simply means to be in action of supporting, celebrating and creating honest images of a group you care about, or yourself.

My approach is to be honest-really honest-and consistent. That is what any growth will take. It is an issue I think [young] generation can be courageous enough to comb through.

I couldn't bare the idea of not being in regular communication with the audience I love - young women of color.

I've been waiting years to have a conversation with Franchesa [Ramsey]! She's so funny and wicked smart. So that's really going to be the experience it's going to intelligent, layered, and hilarious.

My head is a prison I’ve been locked in from the start, So if I'm treated like a criminal I might as well play the part.(attrib: E. Tancarville)

Do your little bit of good where you are

Since sane people rarely surround themselves with furnishings which they personally find repellent, it is logical to assume that it will generate a bit of goodwill to enthuse about those they have.

I am alone; all drowns in the Pharisees' hypocrisy. To live your life is not as simple as to cross a field.

Everything breaks; the only things that last are things you're willing to fix.

I have always maintained that there is nothing wrong with nursery food now that we are grown up and can have a glass of wine with it.

I don't want to love you if you're only going to die.

I'm kind of shy, and I think that I take that out by performing in front of a lot of people. That's how I get out my shyness.

The only people that really have a chance against Serena [Williams] are people that are strong, that can handle her power that move well, and that's a difficult combination.

I was in my tighty-whities and I never woke up, and I ran over a mile.
