“It takes sunshine and rain to make a rainbow. There would be no rainbows without sunshine and rain.”

“No matter the severity of another’s conduct, transcend it. Keep your composure, hold your ground, and leave with dignity that speaks louder than words.”

“Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.”

“Hold tight to the joys that make you smile, and never let them go.”

“Not everything is meant to be mended; some things are meant to be let go. Some things aren’t for fixing—only for letting go.”

“Embrace the mountain for its view and the valley for its vision, knowing each serves a purpose in your journey.”

““Children come to us not... because we are good people, but because we are students of life.”

“Acknowledging that my skin was, in fact, Cocoa as it is, would have destroyed their narrative about who I really was. Therefore they had to convince everyone (but mostly themselves) that my skin colour was black, which is obviously not. They wanted to lessen the value of my skin, my people, and my origins.”

“Great goals make great people. People cannot hit what they do not aim for.”

“True beauty does not dwell in outward appearance, but in the quiet grace of kindness — and that is what makes you the most beautiful person in the world.”
