"I thought I needed to be a doctor or engineer after graduating from school"
This quote really highlights how students view success coming out of high school and how doctorate and engineering majors are mostly picked because of money but not for passion amongst some students.
"Everything I knew about myself reminded me that I was, if not an imposter, a fraud."
This quote relates to how many people may feel when entering certain spaces they don't feel a part of or feel they don't belong there. In this quote, she felt like a fraud because the internship was something she was using for personal gain/ money for school. Art wasn't something she was pursuing during that time.
"There have been Black people since the beginning of time, but I was not seeing any of their art in any of my classes. "
This quote is something that can be applied to most things in the world and how black people's history or importance had been erased or censored in spaces. Art has been a part of everything and everyone but in a lot of spaces the only art that is being highlighted for the most part is white men's art.
