"When life hands you a difficult situation where you feel undervalued and disrespected, be bold and brave enough to know your worth."

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

I decided I can’t pay a person to rewind time, so I may as well get over it.

“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.”

I think it's great to be flawed. I am hugely flawed, and I like it this way. That's the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you.

I'll never forget where I'm from. It's essential to remain humble and evolving.

It needs to be said and heard: it's OK to be who you are.

If you’re doing something outside of dominant culture, there’s not an easy place for you. You will have to do it yourself.

Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.

Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything... whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.

If I wait for someone else to validate my existence, it will mean that I’m shortchanging myself.

I've been very fortunate to have good people in my life, and when you find good people, you gotta hold onto them real tight.

Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.

It's very important for us all to understand that we are interconnected and we need to hold hands together, especially when the going gets tough.

If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.
