“When geneticists compare these ethnic populations, they find there is more genetic diversity between populations within Africa than between Africa and the rest of the world. Ethnic groups in Western Africa are more genetically similar to ethnic groups in Western Europe than to ethnic groups in Eastern Africa. Race is a genetic mirage.”

“You cannot go through your life without losing and grieving, and if you try to avoid it, that emotion will get stuck and be constantly waiting for you to feel it. My advice on unavoidable pain is the same as always: feel it and honor it. That’s how you process anything. Come back into the body to feel it, use the breathe-and-feel tool, and it will pass in time. It will come in waves. It will teach you how to be human. It’s not necessarily fun, but it’s so incredibly important. And paradoxically, feeling grief and pain will eventually allow you the space to process, and eventually be happy again.”
