I don't think I've ever heard anyone go … ‘I generally hated this race,’ it was always like ‘I felt pressured into this' … or ‘I thought I was going to die in prison.'.

We had hundreds and hundreds of likes, hundreds and hundreds of shares.

The swastika and the SS bolts and the Confederate flag tend to be the predominant images that I see that I have to cover up.

I've had a father that told me that he didn't take [his] shirt off in front of his kids ever … because of some mistake he made when he was in his early 20s in prison and got in with the wrong crowd.

You're pretty much at the whim of whoever is going to be able to cover that for you, ff you feel brave enough to even enter the establishment to say, 'yes, this was me, no, this isn't who I am,'.

They'll kind of go through that motion of dealing with the pain and then kind of healing from it because they're kind of like letting it out as that tattoo is covering it up.

It's every part of the country that's contacted me -- from New York to California. Literally. And people internationally, ireland, Canada, Korea. ... I even had a girl call me from South Africa.

Seeing people risking their lives for the Black Lives Matter movement on TV, that moved me greatly, it was pretty much the only way to use what I can do to help.
