fashion people style
Most of the people you look at in the early days of Harlem - the zoot suits, the music, the style of fashion, the vibrant colors - that's all influences from the south.
focus meditation
I don't have a routine, but I have used meditation to just decompress and focus.
never-say-never humbling
Never say "never" about anything, because if you do, life has a way of humbling you.
memories history-repeats-itself repeating-history
History repeats itself over and over again, but most of us have short memories.
home kids animal
I worked at a group home for a survival job years ago, and kids who have a rough home life have always tugged at my heart-strings. I also care a lot about animal cruelty.
yoga trying overwhelmed
I don't practice yoga, but it's on my list of things to try again. I gave it a shot, but the class was too advanced for me, and I felt overwhelmed and a little embarrassed.
Love, for me, is always wanting the best for the other person even if it's not what's best for you.
social-media kind bubbles
I don't have social media so I'm kind of in a bubble, but I hear there's a lot going on.
people different pot
Harlem is really a melting pot for a lot of different people.
people southern influence
When you look at Harlem - and I lived there almost five years - most of the people who live in Harlem are transplants. They migrate to Harlem from another place. A lot of them are from the south, so they bring those southern influences with them.
southern soul church
You see a lot of Baptist churches in Harlem, you see a lot of the same kind of cuisine, the soul food - there's a lot of places that remind you of its southern roots.
people evil law-enforcement
Law enforcement has always had informants and people they've had to deal with, who walk a certain line. They're choosing between the lesser of two evils. They're befriend one person to gain access to another person, who's a bigger fish.
abroad aware certain country people race
I'm one of those people who is colour blind to a certain degree. And that doesn't mean I'm not acutely aware of race in our country and abroad and in the world. I know what's going on, and I'm very aware of it.
