I have a military background in my family. ”

You'll do anything for your child and that's what I'm doing. ”

Faith without works is dead. ”

My faith is ultimately what led me to start protesting and it's what continues to drive me. ”

We want our president to be a president and not threaten to shut down the government over a wall. To change the oppression that happens in this country, it has no place in the world, let alone America. ”

Nothing will change unless you talk about it. ”

I'm not going to change the way I play. ”

Any time you do something - a protest - you know there's going to be backlash. ”

I feel like I would be a hypocrite not to use my platform to speak up for people who are facing oppression in this country. I did it and I still do it because I believe it's worth letting people know that if we do this together, if we stand up together we can make change. ”

I expect to work hard, earn the respect of my teammates and hopefully I can start. ”
