I have, with my clients, told them that in life, you have choices you can make. I can empathize with those clients, because I come from where they are.

Our lives are like these things I make. Turn 'em, build 'em, bake 'em in fire. That's what you've been, son. Baked and fired. But a pot don't have the right to choose whether he be for water, wine, or just left empty. You have, son. You have.

I was like, 'what!' I was just shocked. Then, they sent me the list, and I'm looking, and I say, 'hey, there aren't any black women on here, either.' I just cried.

The fact that there weren't any black players here in the Midwest, that wasn't gonna stop me from playing, it would push me.

It's your life, live it your way.

Rather than smoke up the weed, I'll do a good deed, I have it written in my creed, and past on my dreams to my next seed.
