Key Quote

“...I think everybody just demands authenticity. We just want to make sure that you're not a culture vulture just because you see something's about to be profitable, not just jumping in the gap and like, oh, we can sell this to him.” - Jamal Sterling

“There's an expectation of women to surrender their singlehood to surrender their independence...in spite of this narrative that we're taught that women mature faster than men...there's still so much self-discovery. I'm still discovering things about myself at 40 something years old."  - Khalilah Elliott
