"If trauma can be handed down from generations to generations, healing can also be handed down from generation to generation. You just have to say, it stops with me, and I don't want to pass this onto my next generation." - Dr. Lulu

"Fear is a powerful thing, but courage is a bigger, more important force because it's fear plus action." - Dr Lulu

"When I walk in the room, I'm not Nigerian, I'm not queer, I'm black. That can get me killed. So when you ask me, have I felt unsafe?" - Dr Lulu

Pick your quote because this episode is an instant classic. It's disruptive. It's one love bomb after another.

Dr. Lulu did not fit the mold. Born in a Catholic, Nigerian family she did not want to perpetuate her bisexuality. In experiencing America first-had, she argues that America is no better than Nigeria, especially when it comes to the LGBTQ community. She's a mother of three - one of them transgender, all of them black. And she doesn't hold back on flipping the mirror, on herself, on society, on parents, and on me.
