“I have to celebrate my Afro-Latinidad, not deny it.” — Ariana DeBose Quote

“I have to celebrate my Afro-Latinidad, not deny it.”

“When I think of growing up, I see dance, I hear music and I think of teachers.”

“I work with brands that see me, that honour all body types, that are powerful.”

“What I think a lot of great marathon runners do is envision crossing that finish line. Visualization is critical. But for me, I set a lot of little goals along the way to get my mind off that overwhelming goal of 26.2 miles. I know I've got to get to 5, and 12, and 16, and then I celebrate those little victories along the way.”

“I know some of the guys, especially the younger guys, have a lot going on mentally. If they're in the spot to make a nice play, you can't forget it's very tough to make plays. When you make them, you have to celebrate.”
