“Live your life like it's golden.”

“Your life is your sermon.”

“I'm just a girl from North Philly who had a dream.”

“I am a woman, I am a black woman, I am a black woman from North Philly.”

“I just want to be who I am, and I don't want to be somebody else.”

“If you are not in the right place, you are in the wrong place.”

“I'm a woman, of course I still have curves on me, and that's ok. I had a baby and I've worked hard.”

“I'm a writer. I'm a storyteller. I'm a poet.”

“I think it's important for us as a society to remember that the youth within our society are our future.”

“For me, it's about love. And it's about honesty.”

“I think it's important to have a good sense of humor and to be able to laugh at yourself.”

“I'm from North Philly, so I'm not going to be a Celine Dion. I'm a soul singer.”

“Whatever is unresolved in you will be projected onto your children.”

“I'm trying to get to a place where I'm not so easily moved by the good and the bad.”

“I'm a lover of the art of storytelling.”

“I want to do what I love, and I want to be with who I love.”
