Bricia Lopez wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source

“No journalist is omnipotent, and even the most powerful journalist cannot influence those who do not read his paper.

“Even in the same industry, the presence of healthy competition doesn't imply that we (women) don't respect each other. I think it also says a lot about the person when they find another powerful woman to be threatening. It says something about how you see yourself as opposed to what the other women are doing”

They use boxing as a method to take out that frustration and find strength.”

“There are so many beautiful and powerful stories in Africa. They are in our culture from the beginning of time. We were kings and queens before all this colonisation and oppression.

There were others way before him that led the charge of a free independent Africa”
