Everybody Has A Choice. I Am Not

We Have These Images, These Icons Before Us That Are Not Reality.

There Are A Lot Of Young Black Girls Who I Meet In My Travels Who Don't Have A Lot Of Self-esteem. So If I Communicate To Them That They're Beautiful, No White Person Should Find Fault In That. It Doesn't Mean That Young White Girls Aren't Beautiful, Because They Are Just As Beautiful.

I Wouldn't Even Hold My Kids Sometimes Because I Didn't Want Them To Spit Up On Me When I Was Dressed For An Awards Show.

This Life Is A Process Of Learning.

I Am No Longer Going To Become A Fictional Character To Please People. That's Too Much Work.
