More quotes by Joy Bryant
Failure isn't really an option because, as my grandmother used to say, Nothing beats a failure but a try.
Joy Bryant
It's been encouraging to hear the pope talking about climate change and take it away from being a political issue to being one of survival.

You have to move to your own beat. There will be times when no one believes in you or understands what you're doing and why you are doing it. The most important thing is for you to believe in you. Following your own vision is one of the only things that will sustain you.
Joy Bryant
I never wanted to be the person who said, I woulda, coulda, shoulda. Life is way too short, and you may not last that long.
Joy Bryant

Joy Bryant
We live in a country [USA] where the belief is that anyone can succeed, but for so many here, and for the majority of the world, that's not the case. In many parts of the world, women and poor people are at a huge disadvantage - certain rights and protections don't exist, and they don't have the chance of upward mobility.
Joy Bryant
When you empower women and help them thrive, you help their communities thrive. Women shoulder the burden disproportionately.
Joy Bryant
I grew up in the South Bronx, raised by my grandmother, who scrapped and scraped to make sure I had a roof over my head and food in my stomach. I was painfully aware of what it was like to live with limited resources and a certain level of uncertainty.
Joy Bryant
Being involved with Oxfam has really opened my eyes to the world at large and the suffering of others. But my background and my life experience are what have allowed me to understand how interconnected we all are. I believe one person suffering reverberates throughout the world.
Joy Bryant
I love flowy hippie dresses.
Joy Bryant
I think when you're in love with someone, it reveals a lot about yourself. You either rise to your highest highs or you stoop to your lowest lows.
Joy Bryant
I've always said that if anything - whether it was film or television - was something I responded to, then I was open to it.
Joy Bryant
You can't improvise if you are tense. Or thinking too much. You have to really let it go.
Joy Bryant
