"I
always tell my children, don't sit down and worry about colour.
You are who you are, and you are the best! And you are going to
go out there, and nothing is going to be handed down to you on a
plate, and you are going to fight.
And
whatever those teachers are telling the white kids in the school,
make sure you listen and do the same thing. And you make sure you
come out of that class tops. And don't worry about the colour of
your skin because you are who you are, you going to get there. It
might be slow, but you are going to get there if you want to get
there.
And
my children really hold that, they never think anyone is better
than them. And they go to school and they put everything into their
education. Education is something to get through this colour thing
and also to make them a better person."
