"Through friends and newspapers I have maintained a fairly close contact with the evacuee-victims of our lack of confidence in American education and government agencies. On Christmas Eve it was my pleasure to have as a houseguest an old friend who is teaching in the relocation center at Poston. I hasten to suggest that Mr. Leffingwell could find among the Japanese and Nisei internees some real characters whose story, recounted by him in picture, would set before his small readers an example of courage, sensitivity, forgiveness and humility such as would set his cartoon aside from the petty humdrum of its fellows."

"Americans of Chinese ancestry share in disproportionate measure the apprehension of other non-Whites with regard to the summary treatment of Americans of Japanese ancestry. Tightening of residential restrictions against them, for instance, in the neighborhood surrounding San Francisco’s ‘Chinatown’ gives basis for their fears."

"And church and my spiritual life — my relationship with God has always been very important to me and that has not only shaped me to be able to respond to the situations I found myself in at different times, but also has led me and guided me in certain directions."

"Ever since the evacuation of Americans of Japanese ancestry and Japanese along the Pacific Coast was proposed, I have pointed out that the issue was one of race and on that basis affected anyone who was physically distinguishable as ‘colored’"

"To visit evacuation [evacuated] neighborhoods and talk with neighbors of the ‘evil, treacherous, fifth column menaces’ who are being summarily moved away, who have been adjudged guilty without any trial at which to claim innocence was to acknowledge an event with all earmarks of a legalized community lynching."

"I would say that, before I even knew what computer science or electrical engineering, what those terms even meant — long before that, one of the very earliest moments or period of time that got me excited about technology, were the Apollo space missions."

"“Friends, this is how Hitler made little Nazis: by reaching the children and youth through stories and pictures, he taught them to fear and hate certain groups"

"Really circulated around building relationships and trusting that even when things were difficult and they were often very difficult given the fact that we were building this kind of novel, new technology and particularly building it in an industry that is pretty old school, I would say pretty archaic as it relates to technology, or at least it was at that time."

"Sometimes in life there are life altering events that help you reshape your perspective and career path."

"I remember the impact this pivotal moment of her passing had on the redefinition of my journey forward."

"My life’s mission changed when I received news from my sister that our mom had suddenly passed away at home, alone at the age of 61."

"My career started at NASA in the field of logistics."

"I recognized the potential of email marketing in contrast to my previous endeavors when in 2004,"

"Now we [still] may not be where we need to be. It's beyond diversity, it's inclusion. We don't just want to see us, we want to be in those writers' rooms, we want to be executive producers, we want to be showrunners. It's change that is constantly happening but we want to make sure that the change is for the better. That's the main obstacle that we'll have is sticking to change and making sure it’s for the better.”"

"There's still hurdles and barriers that we have to break down. But the fact that things are changing, I'm hopeful about. We're living in a different day and age now…"

"I'm in competition with everybody. The upside of that is that it gives me an opportunity to play a role that's not necessarily written for a Black woman"

"Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one."

"There are roles for Black women and Latina women. But versus the roles for the white women, we got a long way to go. Also, the problem begins with there are no things written for Black women"

"I always figured if the professional killed the spirit to do it at home, then I would never do it professionally, but luckily that didn’t happen."

"I'm excited that we are evolving. I'm always open to change. Change doesn't always feel comfortable. I've gone through the whole light-skinned/dark-skinned thing back in the '90s. I've gone through the straight hair versus the kinky hair thing. I've gone through we've discovered that women who are dark-skinned are beautiful, too."

"The key is not the will to win. Everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important."

"Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win."

"The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win"

"When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!”"

"The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.Everyone wants to win but not everyone wants to prepare to win. preparing to win is where the determination that you will win, is made. Once the game or test or project is underway, it is too late to prepare to win. The actual game, test or projetc is just the end of a long process of getting ready, in which the outcome was really determined. So if you want to win, you must want to prepare to win. Once you prepare to win, winning is almost anti climatic."

"I know it was a job and not something that happened in my personal life but it really affected me emotionally, you know? I’d spend 16-hour days working for the company so it was really dehumanizing being treated like that"

"I’ve learned how to be the leader I needed at that time I was working for my old job"

"It was probably one of the most demoralizing things I’ve ever gone through,” she told ESSENCE. “I wasn’t allowed to clear my desk, so the only item I was able to was a photo of my children. Seven years, gone just like that"

"Believe in yourself; you are the product. If you won’t buy yourself, what makes you think others will?Always be positive and optimistic. A positive attitude always sells"

"Be authentic, be you. Do not pretend to be anyone else."

"And I’ve grown to understand that as an entrepreneur, difficult decisions are made every day that affects many people’s lives. But I advise other leaders to look at Elon for what NOT to do to employees. That was just cruel and unnecessary in its handling"

"I signed up for email communications of over 150 brands."

"Highlight your strengths without hiding your weak points. Remember; no one is perfect, and your weaknesses—if you know them well and accept them—can play in your favor."

"Mental clarity. In order to communicate well, you need to have a clear mindset of what you want to communicate, and how."

"Control your non-verbal language. What you say must be in alignment with what your body says and with your attitude."

"I will tell you what made me a better brewer. I no longer drink when I brew. I stopped many years ago. I was ending up with too many undrinkable brews. Not being buzzed can be the difference between making delicious Amarillo Pale Ale or Amarillo Pale Ale with cinnamon."

"In my opinion, lack of exposure. And you won’t just find it in the craft beer industry—it’s noticeable in the food and beverage industry as a whole. Craft beer is a focused product that appeals to beer connoisseurs, and if all your local corner mart carries is mass-marketed beer, then that’s what you know. In general, there is not that much interest in craft beer by minorities because it costs more. If you’re not going to buy it and try it, how can you be interested in making it? The craft brewing industry doesn’t cater to minorities like the big guys do, and I’m not convinced they really care to because of their bottom line. …"

"It’s been fairly positive. I’ve been lucky, as I started out with a good group of local brewers who encouraged me, sometimes unbeknownst to them, to excel in the hobby. My local competition consisted of Jamil Zainasheff, Mike Riddle, Mike McDole and Bud Tourville. … They often entered a competition with 30 to 40 homebrews. That was a lot compared to my three to five entries. It pushed me to exceed and branch out, brewing different styles so I could compete. Eventually, I gave up the philosophy of brewing against them and began brewing for myself, for the challenges of the different styles presented. …"
