I look forward to beginning a relationship with Al Jazeera America, which has made a commitment to producing quality programming and pursuing underreported stories.

As CNN saw our growth in African-American viewership, they affirmed a fundamental truth of news coverage – people will watch you if they see themselves in what you report. It doesn’t hurt if the people doing the reporting look like them, too.

I don’t think being beautiful takes away from your credibility.

One thing that’s certain: around the corner from every ugly thing, there’s something really beautiful. If we stop at every bitter interaction; we’ll never reach our destination.

Step out of the space you’re in. Use fear to grow. We can change lives, starting with our own.

People will say you can’t do good and do well. They’re wrong, that’s idiotic advice.

Step out of the space you're in. Use fear to grow. We can change lives, starting with our own.

There is nothing worse than doing nothing and saying nothing when your voice is needed,

One thing that's certain: around the corner from every ugly thing, there's something really beautiful. If we stop at every bitter interaction; we'll never reach our destination.

Stories are more than compelling facts. People remember stories more than they remember statistics.
