- Those people were real. They were mothers and fathers, uncles and aunts, doctors and teachers, poets, wonderful people. Composers. And now they scream in silence. My story is only one story, but it is the story six million others cannot tell. I was, and always shall be, the witness to ... mass murder.
- It's about spiritual leadership. When women bring their young boys and they see women leading the prayer, they can initiate change as they grow up.
- Albums – like books and black lives - they still matter.
- We will never forget your sons and daughters who have died on our soil. They are now our sons and daughters.
- The movie Selma is a story about the American Civil Rights movement that totally worked and now everything is fine.

- I don’t like [the pressure] that people put on me - on women - that you’ve failed yourself as a female because you haven’t procreated…This continually is said about me: that I was so career-driven and focused on myself; that I don’t want to be a mother, and how selfish that is…Even saying it gets me a little tight in my throat.
