"For me, I've come to realize I'm one part of a much larger piece in my lineage, and grateful to everyday I get to carry pieces of my Great, Great, Great Grandparents from the South to Los Angeles. I'm the accumulation of all of their decisions, sacrifices and I live in that moment now."
"Everybody wants to be given greater nutrients from what they've been reared on. What does it mean to be on land? Who gets to own it? Who gets to reap its benefits? And that is deeply connected to how we practice our worship and honoring of who was here before us and how they're aiding us."
"Honestly, I want to think about my grandparents and my experiences with them-the patience they had, the way they carried themselves. The way my Uncle Woodson communicated the kind of man he was. He can chop wood, build a house, but could tell you he loved you. So, I want to be able to take that to the next level, to the next generation."
