Oh yeah. I took all the tests and realized the guy knocked some sense into me. I am actually smarter than I was before.
We have a lot of things to be proud of. We took Seattle to a place it's never been before.
I kind of put them in everybody's locker and then took off.
Tons. I took a lot of it. Medicine's good for people, but I'm one of the people it's not really good for.
We took Seattle to a place it had never seen before. We've got a lot to be proud of.
Through generations, they taught me that it's OK to be black and confident, black and loving, and to be black and a leader.
