There's no way I can represent for everyone. I can't represent for all women or all big women or all black women. It's important for people not to make celebrities their source of who they should be in life. I can't take on the pressure of being perfect. Nobody is.

Queen Latifah

I'm proud of who I am. I'm proud of my history. I'm proud of the women and the men who came before us who are black, and I'm proud of the women before me who are black and who have achieved so much, even though we have so much against us, and we don't have those doors opening for us every day.

Melina Matsoukas

I am proud to be able to exhibit my work and inspire young people. Especially young black women so they know that they are beautiful, that they don't have to hold onto any negative stereotypes.

Mickalene Thomas

I'm a black American, and I'm proud to represent who and where I'm from - unapologetically. There's no shame in my game.

Mickalene Thomas

I feel a responsibility to continue creating complex roles for black women, especially young black women.

Katori Hall

We all want to be identified as someone cool, and I have struggled with repping where I'm from and my heritage before. It's part of growing pains. But when people see me being proud of what I am - and they are what I am too - it makes them proud. That's why I try to represent my Asian and my black side.

Saweetie

Every February, we reflect on and honor the achievements, struggles, and icons that comprise Black history. As a proud, Black man running for office and raising two young, Black boys in the South, I am acutely aware that I stand on the shoulders of giants.

Jaime Harrison

We see organizations that target young black men to give them direction in life, but so often, black girls are missed. I wanted to represent them.

Angie Thomas

We have so few women in Congress. We are so underrepresented and whether we like it or not, we are in area - in an era that still the women, the handful that are there, have two jobs: they represent the constituency that they're from, and they also represent the women of the nation or the state or sometimes as Maloney has done, of the world.

Eleanor Smeal

Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.

Tyra Banks

Men who are proud of being black marry black women; women who are proud of being black marry black men.

Malcolm X

I'm proud to be black and white and look the way I look. I'm proud to not speak down on women or glorify things that are unimportant.

Logic

I am proud to be an American, proud to represent 600,000 Americans, and proud to be in the only party pledged to make the District of Columbia the 51st state.

Eleanor Holmes Norton

As a young black boy, it made me proud to see black leaders that did something amazing and made the world change.

John Legend

I specially want to have young women not to wait as I did until my children were grown, but young women to come in to gain their seniority so they could be respected leaders at a much earlier age. It's important for all women to see young women who share their experience whether it's as a working mom with young children, who understands the struggle and the aspirations of young women in a similar situation. And if they don't have family and they're pursuing their career women should see that as well.

Nancy Pelosi

If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.

Spike Lee
