Lola Shoneyin
“They say the elder who soils the floor with shit immediately forgets, but the stench remains in the memory of the person who has to pack it. Some people are born to shit, and some, like Bolanle and me, are born to pack.”
Lola Shoneyin, The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives

“I was sold lies for two years and the worst part is that I believed it because I couldn't combat it with anything else.”
Viola Davis, Finding Me

Will  Smith
“I was raised to believe that I am inherently equipped to handle any problems that may arise in my life, racism included. Some combination of hard work, education, and God would topple any and all obstacles and enemies. The only variable was the level of my commitment to the fight.”
Will Smith, Will

Will  Smith
“Purpose and desire can seem similar, but they are very different, sometimes even opposing forces. Desire is personal, narrow, and pointed, and tends toward self-preservation, self-gratification, and short-term gains and pleasures. Purpose is wider, broader, a longer-term vision encompassing the benefit of others—something outside of yourself you’re willing to fight for. There have been many times in my life where I was acting from a place of desire but I’d fully convinced myself that it was purpose. Desire is what you want; purpose is the flowering of what you are. Desire tends to weaken over time, whereas purpose strengthens the more you lean into it. Desire can be depleting because it’s insatiable; purpose is empowering—it’s a stronger engine. Purpose has a way of contextualizing life’s unavoidable sufferings and making them meaningful and worthwhile. As Viktor Frankl wrote, “In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.”
Will Smith, Will
