My family is like a sanctuary to me. I always turn to them for support and strength. I take comfort in knowing no matter which path I choose, my family stands behind me.

As a person of color, there's no getting around the reality of its responsibility.

Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy, it's romantic.

As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious. When I'm not working, you'd better spend that time with someone important.

There is nothing we need be afraid to say before the Lord.

The White House has a choice: They can change course, or they can double down on a vision of government that the American people have roundly rejected.

My hobby more and more is likely to be common school education, or universal education.
