“I was constantly teased and mocked because I was different. I really don't know the steps I took to transform the bullying into self confidence. I just didn't know any other way to be other than being myself. When I tried fitting in, it didn't work. I really did just have to be ok with being "eclectic" or not "normal". My style is African, it's afrofuturism, it's house, it's jazz, it's soulful, it's me.”

-Duane Powell
