"I always ask myself what defines success for me. As I get older, it's not some superficial thing. I'm at a point where I don't want to waste my days."

"Our very existence is political no matter what. Our joy is a problem for a lot of people. It's really important for us to tell our stories."

Bronx politics has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Since 2006, only Carl Heastie, Jeff Dinowitz, and maybe Jose M. Serrano remain elected. The demographic shift is evident, with areas like Throggs Neck and Morris Park now represented by Latino women, reflecting a growing Latino population, particularly Dominicans.

Tonika Lewis Johnson's Folded Map Project connects residents known as 'map twins' who live on the same street name but miles apart, revealing structural inequality and personal commonality.

Espina humorously admitted to oversleeping on a significant news day, stating, 'Breaking news, mi gente! I can't believe it.' His videos celebrated Maduro's fall but also expressed concern about the complexities of the situation.

Going from two to three children is different but also wild because my daughters are now older and want to help take care of their baby sister.

I don't think that I've ever said this in a public forum ... I don't even think I've said it fully to even my friends or my family. But as a 43-year-old woman, I'm very proud of myself for owning my sexuality at this age.

Art is always political. As the white friend at this event, I'm gonna go ahead and say to the women who look like me - to the men who look like me - it's incredibly important to remember that so much of what we love in America comes from Black culture. White people need to show up for Black people the way they show up to be entertained by Black culture.

Being a part of the conversation is all I ever really wanted. It's all still a win, even the snub talk, I love that the most. Because it's people in here that's like, 'I would love to see Teyana. I hope they keep Teyana in mind when it's time for award season, when it is time for Oscars.'

I can't say it feels great and I can't say that it makes me happy. It just makes me feel peculiar. It's just a movie, at the end of the day. It's just supposed to be an action movie about a guy trying to get his daughter back. And, what I see every day, it weighs heavy on my heart for the world.

After I won it, I thought there was going to be, like, a script truck showing up outside my front door.
