“I love being a Black person in America. I wouldn’t change anything about it. I’m biracial, I’m more than just Black, I’m Hispanic, too. I love being multicultural. That’s the thing that I love the most about my race is my culture. That’s something they could never take away from me. 

“It connects me greatly to [my ancestors] because it's something that they did, something that they fought for for us, you know, the generations that we are here today and the generations to come. So it’s something that we can just continue, and I wish it could be over by now, but it’s something that’s still alive today. I just feel connected to the civil rights activists and the forefathers in the Black community because it’s still alive today and it’s something we need to focus on and it’s important. 

“What I want to tell people is that we’re really all one race. We’re the human race, you know what I mean? It’s not about the color of our skin. Some people are good, some people are bad but honestly everyone has the potential to be good, you just gotta give them that chance. We’re all the same. I just hope that we can get closer to a loving community. Like I said, we’re all one race. Just help each other out. I just want to see us coexist together. 

“My faith is really strong, you know, I believe in God. And just like God says, He says to love your neighbor. So like I’m saying that we have to love each other. With my faith I believe that I don’t hate anyone and I don’t believe anyone should hate anyone else, or anyone should hate me for the way that I look. I feel like if people were to find faith, or to rely on their faith more, they’d realize that hate can’t really live in a person who has faith, who wants to have a loving community. So I think if we relied on faith a little bit more, or just principles, righteous principles, that we’d live in a better community.” ​
