"I always say that as black people, we fear ourselves, and our own potential."
"We also judge and define ourselves because of our skin colour, how we speak, our background and we end up looking down upon ourselves whereas, we have potential to be greater. We should not be defined by our past. How you speak, and your background does not and should not ever make you feel like ‘less of a person’. Some people feel ashamed of certain things about their identity, this campaign encourages us to instead be proud and embrace who we are."
"Whatever situation one finds themselves in, its never in vain. There might be a lesson to learn from the situation. I don’t chicken out of any situation, I am brave enough to face it, even if I get burnt."
"I believe that God and my Ancestors will never put me in a situation that I cannot get out of."
"We need to teach men that it is okay to cry and speak up, and that it will ease the stresses or pressure you are faced with."
"Domestic Violence issues – I honestly feel that the reason why men do it, can be attributed to how men are afraid of opening up. They are afraid to cry and opening up about their problems and challenges which they face , and sometimes they have the incorrect idea of what it means to be “manly/masculine” and then they resort to using their power incorrectly towards women."
