“The way we value black beauty has changed. I'm single now, but back in the slave days, I would have never been single. I'm 6 feet tall and I'm strong. Look at me, I'm a Mandingo.” WayLooksValuesStrongBlackFeetChangedSlaveTallLook At MeBlack Beauty Author:Leslie Jones
“Back when I played, basketball was all about fundamentals, about hustling, getting those loose balls, all those rebounds under the basket. That equals up to 12, 14, 16 points. You can lose a game with that much. It's different watching basketball now. People don't play the same way. It doesn't matter if you score, if you can't stop the other team from scoring. Our coach used to kick our ass if we didn't. I was told if you saw more of the other team color under the basket than your own team color, you ain't doing your job. Everybody should be under the board, trying to get that ball.” PeopleIfsWayShouldTryingDifferentMatterPlayJobsUsedGamesLosesSawsTeamColorBasketballBallsFundamentalsCoachesAssBoardsKicksScoreHustleBasketsBack WhenRebound Author:Leslie Jones
“I always had a Twitter account. I always had an Instagram account. I was always active on it, always spoke my mind. To me, it's really weird that I got so many followers and people that pay attention the way they do. It's hilarious, actually, because people didn't used to listen to me at all. I used to be like, "Does anybody hear me talkin'?"” PeopleWayMindDoeUsedPayAttentionAccountsActiveUsed To BePay AttentionSpokesFollowersInstagramListen To MeReally Weird Author:Leslie Jones
