Destiny Quote by Ilyasah Shabazz

“I'm not meant to be part of the things that are wrong with the world, but neither am I meant to run from them. I'm meant to fight against them. I can't hold my own in the ring, but out in the world, I do know how to fight. With words. With truth.” quote by Ilyasah Shabazz — Download Open image
