On her first response to the protests: "With a lot of different emotions, when I saw some of the violence, I couldn't actually see myself doing that because I work from a different place, but I understand it. There are people out there who feel like that is their only option in order to be heard or their only way to have access to something they feel represents value. If the language for so long toward you has been violence, how would you expect someone to respond?"
On her interaction with the National Guardsman: "At that moment, I felt like, 'You're human like me. I'm fighting out here, not just for me but for you too, you and the universe.' Everything I said came out like word vomit. I know I didn't let him get a word in edgewise, but it was because I wanted him to feel me. I wanted to connect to the human, not the suit, not this robot-ass sh*t."
