“If a woman shared her body with me, why can I not speak of my experience?...It’s not me casting a judgment on someone, it’s something that has happened.

At the end of the day, that’s the way it is.”

“It’s like when footballers run underwater in water tanks…There’s a high pressure against your body. If you can run fast in a water tank, when they take you out of the water, you can run way faster because there’s less pressure.

“I feel like I was more accepted by the white community than the black . A lot of the time, the black kids would be like, ‘Oh, ’cause you lighter, you’re not as “gang” as us. That’s really the attitude they have. It made me misbehave more because I felt like I had to prove a point.”
