We must recognize that anger only agitates and incites. It cannot squelch or satisfy the hunger for justice.

Black history won't stop no bullets.

When I carried Tupac, when I was five months pregnant they put me back in jail, my bail was revoked. When my bail was revoked, I was not allowed to have my own food. I could only have what was there.

We need to read history from the source.

We cannot go anywhere with anger that we haven't already been.

That's what art is for me. It helps you maintain hope by giving you the ability to either create outside your reality, or to describe your reality.

We must recognize that anger only agitates and incites. It cannot squelch or satisfy the hunger for justice.

That's what Tupac and I got from my dad - the rebellion and the need to fight back and be recognized for being different.

I spent 43 years of my life in anger and I know what it can do... Now I pray a lot. I do whatever I need to do to keep me out of that anger, out of that place where I can't grow and be better.

For me, revolution is around young people with no skills, college education, and coming from everywhere having an economic impact on an entire system which no one notices.
