The conversation touches on homophobia, the AIDS stigma, racism in healthcare and musing about a future Governor Stacey Abrams.

“As an African American woman, I think that we all can say that while my story might not be your story and vice versa, there is a need for me to understand your story… and your perspective so that we can find common ground and grow together.”

“We’re definitely going to have a black woman governor in the next two years – Stacey Abrams. We already have a Black vice president. So we’re we’re moving that way. They are afraid [of us] and there will be some people out there trying to stop us, but we’re headed in [the right] direction.”

“Just because I say stop rape or don’t touch me or don’t sexualize me…does not mean that I don’t like men. It’s just that I don’t like being treated like that…It’s not about a male versus woman thing – we deserve to be treated as people, as human beings.”
