For us to do great work in the world, for us to create on the level where it matters—and if there are no stakes it does not matter—so there have to be stakes because we want to create something that matters.

Are you doing work that changes the lives of people?

My dream has always been to change the world through images

The more young people who are empowered to dream, the stronger our democracy will be and a stronger world we will have

Why should you sit and say "I am paying Tax, it's enough"?

Why shouldn't your domestic worker's child be a doctor?

When you look at artists, inventors, ordinary people — it always starts with a dream.

What freedom means to me is having the ability to dream

We see people's work, their creativity. We compliment it, we like it, we ask them to make more but that doesn't mean we know the story

It's an important lesson - Everyone has a story to tell

Ask me - Ask me who I am. Ask me what I do. How we can connect. How we can start a conversation.

You don't permission from anybody. You need permission from yourself.

"I firmly believe that it is the most optimistic time that we've ever been in, because politics are dwindling, structures are dwindling...and you as the creator...can put things into the world in a way that nothing from the top-down can."

"...A 1:1 relationship between thought, creation and scale. That is the most powerful thing that I can ever imagine."

You have to believe what you say to people. If you don't believe what you're saying, you're going to come across as ill-equipped, unprepared, unsure, and weak.

"Desde que fui mamá, volví a ser niña"

“IPE, de alguna manera, representa para mí mi momento mágico (…)” “Nuestra responsabilidad -desde IPE para ustedes, digamos- es hacer que nuestra programación, nuestro contenido, sea un momento mágico para los que nos ven.”

“IPE, de alguna manera, representa para mí mi momento mágico (…)”

The value of truth has completely changed now.

All lunch money went to music.

“Que todo el mundo, cuando vea IPE, sienta que las cosas pueden cambiar, se pueden hacer mejor, y que hay espacio para hacerlo.”

The different sounds that created me, help make me the artist I am today. The sounds of my neighborhood, like old school hip-hop, Aretha on my parents radio and Ethiopian church music.

“Nosotros ya nos cansamos un poco de lo aspiracional (…). Queremos ser inspiracionales : poner cosas en la pantalla, que la gente las vea y diga “wow, eso me inspira a mí a hacer algo”.”

“Sentimos que tenemos una responsabilidad muy grande por la gente que nos ve.”

“En el momento en el que me crucé con IPE, me di cuenta de que había un lugar con ciertos principios y valores, que yo podía hacer míos y que no quería dejar.”
