Hasan Minhaj Quotes
My biggest inspiration is black America and what they've done in the arts.

Some of the greatest inspirations in my life have been black Americans. And I just wanted to say thank you. They've been a huge inspiration, to myself and this country.

She was a rich mine of life, like the founders of early races.
