YaYa DaCosta Quotations

Antonio and I only danced together in a couple of quick scenes. But it was really nice.

Both my parents are educators. My siblings and I always had to get good grades no matter what outside interests we had.

He moves with so much grace and so much control. He's so strong, but at the same time, he's so soft. It's just so comfortable to dance with him.

It was a really, really fast but organic process.

I feel at home in a lot of places, but I am truly an African-American.

My parents were very active in the Civil Rights Movement. My father was a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) worker; my mother was a secretary with the Panthers.

I try to make my mood uplifting and peaceful, then watch the world around me reflect that mood.
