"Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public."

Integrity
"You can’t lead the people if you don’t love the people. You can’t save the people if you don’t serve the people."
- Cornel West
Leadership
"It’s no accident that most of the great Black spokespersons and leaders understood the centrality of self-affirmation, self-respect, and self-love."

Self-esteem
"We cannot control who we fall in love with, but we can choose how we treat them."

Relationships
"I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word ‘diva’ and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn’t afraid to show it."

Relationships
