"...It doesn't happen overnight. It's not easy. Expect everything to go wrong, & just be cool. Breathe easy and just see it out. A lot of people start but don't finish because things don't happen the way they want. It's never going to happen the way you want it to” -Dame Dash

"You must be able to look in the mirror & love what you see. From the kink to the curl, to the dreadlocks to the relaxation, to the press & curl of it all. No matter what you think about it, it's perfect. The better you are to yourself, the better you can be for everyone else."

"Find people who’s the so much better at what they do than you are. If you want to be fast you have to run with people who are way faster than you. When you are surrounded by those who are superior in their performance you are bound to be lifted up...." #mindsetovereverything

“In our success comes other black people’s success, so there is a lot of pressure for us to do well—for the culture. It’s hard to create art w/ that weight, and I feel it every day. It’s one of my greatest fears, failing. I just want to make my people proud” - @melinamatsoukas
