"A lot of people don't give Virginia credit. Pharrell, Missy Elliott - a lot of people come from here..." — Kali Uchis

I just believe in standing up for people and against discrimination. I consider myself an advocate for human rights.

I'm Colombian. My family all have different complexions; some are people of color. I've been called every name by white people, been mocked for speaking in Spanish by white people.

I've always considered myself a person of color.

There's no particular method or course of action that I take in order to decide who I'm going to work with besides feeling complete and total respect and admiration for that artist.
