“I'm queer, I'm Afro-Lat, I'm biracial. I have so many different labels...” — Ariana DeBose Quote

“I'm queer, I'm Afro-Lat, I'm biracial. I have so many different labels. I'm like, Good Lord - I am America. I belong to damn near every single marginalized community in one way or another.”

“The point of art is to shake people's minds and talk about real social issues.”

“To be recognized by your fellow actors, that's real special.”

“I belong to the Democratic Party.”

“My entire life has been fighting the feeling that I don't belong here, even though I know I'm qualified.”

“I struggle with deciding when to answer or ignore the constant speculation about my private life, because I feel like that doesn't belong to anybody but me.”
