That's how I feel with my son and my daughter.
I need to meet those ones.
But it came from them.
And that's, you know, I would have to say that growing up on the Farrakhan, that's what saved me.
Because I'm telling you, growing up in that, just everything.
You were taught that being black was like the best thing in the world.
Anybody that wasn't black...
You should feel sorry for them.
I mean, this is what I'm taught as a little girl.
So I'm like, my head is up wherever I go because this is embedded in me, you know?
So I think it's very important that, you know, you serve those messages to your children when they're young.
Not the likes and don'ts, just being black, period, whatever color you are.
Because we didn't have any of that.
You know, Farrakhan was real light.
You know, his kids were loud in class with his daughter.
we didn't do all that light skin.
You'd be in trouble.
You know, it was just, you just black and everybody's beautiful.
