“Being born gay, Black, and female is not a revolutionary act. Being proud to be a gay, Black female is.”
"To be a black person is to come from a long bloodline of survivors and storytellers, with a resilience that people can't even comprehend."
- Lena Waithe
Resilience

Self-confidence
"The things that make us different, those are our super powers."
- Lena Waithe
Belief in Self
"I see each and every one of you. The things that make us different, those are our superpowers — every day when you walk out the door and put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren’t in it."
- Lena Waithe
Empowerment
"Perhaps we all see ourselves as a little less than we are. Unworthy. Untalented. Nothing special. Lacking the heart, mind, resources, charisma, or stature to be of much use to God. You say you’re not perfect? You’re not good enough? Welcome to the club! You may be just the person God is looking for. God doesn’t need you to be exceptional, let alone perfect. He will take your talents and abilities and multiply them—even though they may seem scarce as a few loaves and fishes. If you trust Him and are faithful, He will magnify your words and actions and use them to bless and minister to multitudes!"
Belief in Self
"I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions."

"If you think you can’t, change your mind."
