I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.
I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

Whatever has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment, because life is now.
You are who you are at this moment because of everything that's ever happened to you, everything that you carried forward for yourself.
Your job is not just to do what your parents say, what your teachers say, what society says, but to figure out what your heart calling is and to be led by that.
