“There are a lot of people who call themselves teachers or leaders, but...” — Mos Def Quote

“There are a lot of people who call themselves teachers or leaders, but they're really just propagandists.”

“When people say, 'I don't see you enough,' well just because you don't see me don't mean I don't exist, or just 'cause you haven't heard me don't mean I haven't been making noise. But if I keep making noise, you'll pick up.”

“I'm an independent thinker. And I'm not the poster child for any movement. I'm trying to support whatever's right no matter where it is.”

“Like it or not, there are a lot of dance teachers in this country who respect me, whether they personally like me or not.”

“I've definitely had crazy acting teachers.”

“I don't think most teachers realize how much impact they have.”
