It's time for a change and it needs to start right here in the (historically black colleges and universities). Yeah, my hair is low, but if I had locks or twists, I would still be the grade 'A' college student that I am.

I'm thrilled right now. I don't think our program needs a big change. I think we just need to be pushed in the right direction.

We don't have a lot more time to deal with climate change, ... We need the right balance between regulation and market-based approaches.

We've always been very close. But right now I feel there needs to be a change in the direction from where our national administration has taken us and where the Republicans in state government want to take us.

Right now, everybody is in one category, but I gradually want to change that to where each category has its own wage range. There was no way to get any more money, but I am trying to open it up more so that a person who wants to work hard and make money can.

You're only a new artist one time, and I can just say I'm so blessed. I feel so inspired to do other things, to be so much more.
