that I will teach my children about being black.
- Never assume you are not welcome somewhere before assuming that you are. Give people an opportunity to surprise you. Give then an opportunity to surprise themselves.
- You count. Your vote counts, your presence counts, your dollar counts. Don’t support something you don’t support. Don’t like something? Change it.
- Your difference is the greatest gift you’ve ever been given, even on the days it will feel like your curse.
- If people hate you, its only because they don’t know you.
- Your best angle is with your chin up. Your smile is most radiant when it isn’t hiding a thing.
- The best way to combat stereotypes is to defy them. The best way to combat discrimination is to live your life well. Never let hate disturb your grace.
