"Black men—Black people in general—don’t have a reason to trust America. History will tell you that, at the end of the day, we’re going to be the first ones to be manipulated and systematically taken advantage of"

"There’s a stigma around mental health in the Black community, particularly with men, that means we don’t talk about how we’re feeling, and it was strange to be around Black people who openly discussed seeing a therapist"

"I didn’t want to show up like, ‘I have a confession,’ so I taught myself"

"So to have my name at the top of the billing on my own for Candyman, right up there on Aquaman, and next to Keanu Reeves in a big production like The Matrix is huge. To be validated, to hold my own, and to go on talk shows where they say my entire name, that’s inspiring"

"[Watchmen] was also a story about a god who came down to earth to reciprocate to a Black woman all the love that she deserved"

"That world is enormous. And I joined that world way into that run; a train that was already moving. Normally, I come in way early on and I get to figure it out…I was freaking out. It was a scene with [Samuel L.] Jackson, Tom [Holland]…there were a number of actors in that scene. And I remember not being able to remember my lines. I was the wooden board. And they were like, ‘Whoa"

"I woke up two months ago and said “Whoa, whoa whoa! I’m an actor, how"

"It was frustrating. I deserved to be there. Period. That was my reminder that even if I did everything right -- played the game by the book -- some things in life would be unavoidable. Because I was Black. I was 18 years old. I did the only thing I knew to do. I cried, and I swallowed that s**t"

"I saw a lot of people validate the history of trauma in this country, and the ways in which a traumatic event can happen to someone in one generation, and two generations later you see their offspring or their grandchildren still dealing with that. To me, that idea is very important to legitimize because we live in a society, in America specifically, that is so much in a rush to move past all the dark parts of its history. There’s so much of a rush to just put that behind us, that it often causes us to ignore, to not deal with it. And it causes us to not be able to realize the way that we still perpetuate it and create an environment for that trauma to continue to exist and persist"

"It's important to listen to Black women because they got the answers"

"Imagine a world where we intentionally taught children pro-social skills, gave them many opportunities to practice, and positively reinforced them every time they used those skills"

"When we’re aware of ourselves, then we come to know what our hot buttons are, what our behavior is, and how we respond to the behavior of others"

"School resource officers have become more involved in the basic discipline of children, stepping in where teachers previously would have handled low-level misbehavior"

"Children who are suspended are ten times more likely to enter the juvenile justice system,They’re more likely to drop out of school, have low achievement, and be suspended again."

"African American children are only 19 percent of the preschool population, but comprise nearly half of all suspensions,"

"Now these are all childlike behaviors, albeit from a very curious child, but childlike nonetheless,"

"There are going to be times where you run into people who question your decisions,You need to just be ready to push back.”"

"Why do you keep doing this, risking your own personal safety and comfort?” “How did you go on? How did you find the courage to wake up each day?”"

"I wanted to be a professional witness to the struggles against white supremacy. It’s up to all of us to use our God given talents in any way we can … Democracy is fragile. We must all do our parts to protect it.”"

"Each of us is bending it (in our own way), We are each are using our resources. Journalism is my way of bending the arc ."

"“The threat of white supremacy courses through the halls of Congress, All of this seems so scary.”"

"Journalism is my good trouble,I implore you to find your good trouble.”"

"How can individual people make change?” A “Just look at your talents.”"

"The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around … But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark can you see the stars."

"“I focused on my purpose, My ancestors came here so I could pose that question."

"“When I think about Martin Luther King and all that he gave this country, he would want society challenging itself, looking bluntly at itself, “Where in your life are you fighting white supremacy?”"

"Tomato anthracnose is a serious disease of processing es caused by the ' and is a threat to tomatoes grown in . To minimize the mold count in processed tomato products, processors impose a strict limit on the amount of anthracnose acceptable on the raw product. ... The fungus survives the winter as seedlike structures called and as threadlike strands called e in infested tomato debris. In late spring the lower leaves and fruit may become infected by germinating sclerotia and spores in the soil debris. Infections of the lower leaves of tomato plants are important sources of spores for secondary infections throughout the growing season. Senescent leaves with early s and leaves with injury are especially important spore sources because the fungus can colonize C. coccodes and produce new spores in these wounded areas."

"affects cabbage cultivars grown for , storage, and fresh market. The disease is caused by the '. This fungus can cause serious losses in the field, in storage, and under transit and market conditions. S. sclerotiorum is widely distributed in relatively cool and moist areas throughout the world. The fungus has a wide host range and is known to attack over 360 species of plants. In the family alone, it has been recorded on 18 genera and 32 species. In the fungus is capable of infecting many types of vegetables and is particularly serious on s. It also infects weeds such as , , and wild clover.."

"This was completely unheard of, because women represent such a small population of orthopaedic residents in the country. The fact that 50 percent of our class were women that’s beyond unusual."

"We had such a rich environment because we had each other’s support. So we started thinking, how many women are actually going into orthopaedics? Why aren’t we going into academic surgery? And when we are in academics, are we actually growing within the field."

"We were able to see the daily environment and how inclusive it was, and I think that’s why we had so many women want to match here that year. When you interviewed at most other orthopaedic programs you had a sense that it was a boy’s club. I can’t tell you the number of programs that asked me Why aren’t you going into pediatrics or OB/GYN?’ Northwestern never asked me that. They asked me and the other women in my class, What do you hope to accomplish in orthopaedic surgery?’ So we had a sense of belonging from the beginning."

"The data was initially really dishearteningWe always talk about how it seems like there’s not enough women in orthopaedic surgery, but this study really put it into perspective."

"I reach out to female medical students to come shadow me in clinic and in my operating room. The job description of hip and knee replacement surgery can be pretty physical, which is why I think women can be discouraged from going into it. But I’m 5’8’’. I’m not a large individual. And I want female medical students to see that if I can do the surgery, they can do the surgery, too."

"The ultimate goal of my research is to improve our knowledge of how changes in climate and land-use will affect forest ecosystems and water resources."

"I grew up not having any clue what a Mathematician was… so I looked up and wrote to random Math Professors. It sounds silly, but this actually helped shape my career path. Doing math for a living is a sweet gig, and I am deeply grateful to be a part of the mathematics community."

"I investigate how forest processes affect water flow dynamics and pathways in soil and streams, and conversely, how water flow paths affect ecological function in mountainous areas. This bridging of hydrology and ecosystem science is key to developing sustainable management of water resources."

"Every step in my career has served a purpose. Of course, each step provided me with a particular level of training. But the steps also bought me time to figure out what I like and what I don’t like professionally and personally. If I had to end with some advice, I would say: Take each of these steps seriously and not to rush ahead to the next one."

"When you don't feel valued, you feel like sh*t. When you feel like sh*t, you don't do good math."

"All of my research involves a combination of field experimentation, field observations and laboratory analysis, and is fundamentally interdisciplinary and collaborative."

"Over my career, I have collaborated with dozens of excellent scientists from a variety of disciplines to conduct research projects that have achieved far more than any of us could have on our own."

"It’s not enough to be the first; it’s just really important not to be the last."

"The only way that I will be in charge of this [lab] group is if you let me run it my way and there’s no interference from anyone."

"I’ve made many mistakes in my time,” she told her lab team. I expect you to make mistakes. I expect you to tell me what those mistakes are so we can correct them."

"We’ve got to be aware, we’ve got to educate ourselves, and we’ve got to let go of the stigma and the shame that adults feel about mental health that we then impose on our young adults so that they begin to feel bad about any challenge to their psychological well-being."

"What will help you thrive are your relationships with the people who love and support you, who, without exception, want what is best for you,"

"We need to get to a place where we can say, “It’s ok when you’re not ok.""

"Graduating was not just my accomplishment but ours."

"We’re going to focus on the children we believe can be diverted from the system, either through a referral from law enforcement at the point of contact in the community, a referral from a school resource officer, a self-referral from a family member or a community organization that works with children who recognize some of the signs of at-risk behavior in that child,"
