Quotes

 “Of course, nothing comes easy. Getting into this game I knew it wasn’t gonna come easy. I knew it was gonna work at some point but not that fast. So yeah, I was built for it. I was ready for it, so I embraced all the challenges and disappointments.” – Anderson Obiagwu

“Be proud of who you are. God created you in dark skin for a reason. So if you’re black, if you’re African, know that you’re African for a reason. Love yourself more than anybody else can ever love you. Nobody can love you better than you. You have to believe in yourself because there is a certain level of confidence that comes with believing in yourself .” – Anderson Obiagwu
