Personal motto:
“I’ll find a way or make one.” (Motto of Clark Atlanta University, my alma mater)
Best advice received:
As my friend and mentor, Valeisha Butterfield, wisely advised: While I disrupt and occupy spaces not designed for people like us, I must always remember the arduous journey it took to get there. It’s my responsibility to lift as I climb. While no one owes me anything, show gratitude to those who have trusted me with this platform. And always prioritize authenticity; if I can’t be myself, it might be time to step aside.
Memorable embarrassing moment:
Once, I crowd-surfed my way out of Coachella, unintentionally. Future’s set was lit, but the mosh pit had other plans for me. Security had to fish me out.
