“I have knelt is silent prayer, and also cried towards heaven countless times. I have repeated words as mantras, and I have executed dozens of heartfelt discourses to the open air. When did I top praying so often about losing my father, and being praying to find myself? At some point, it was not so much about my Dad, and not even about loss. It became about the way forward. Now I am the voyager, stuck as I am. in memories and more.”

“You can’t host or show some black people good time without regretting, Because the same people you are showing good time. You are making sure they are enjoying themselves and are having time of their life. Are the very same people that will steal from you. Will sabotage you. Will destroy your property or items. Will try to find something that will destroy you or your career or bag. Sharing your success or space with a jealous person. Is the same as playing with fire. You can be burned anytime or every time.”

“White supremacists boast about white americans being superior. Let's look at it reasonably, shall we - not that you can reason with fanatics! Most of the third world speaks two or three languages, yet you say, white americans are superior! Dreamers from the third world bear ten times more difficulty to achieve their dream, yet you say, white americans are superior! Humankind's earliest scientific achievements came not from the West, but from the East and the Middle East, yet you say, America is superior - a juvenile country whose very existence is rooted in humankind's worst of atrocities. Well done! You really are superior - in cooking up fiction. The fact of the matter is, excellence has no race. And the only inferior people on earth are the ones who think of others as such.”
