  “The idea of a Wakanda fills me with a lot of hope and a lot of passion. The idea of a nation like Wakanda that was never colonized and then it advanced itself to becoming the most technologically advanced nation on the globe. And the idea that my job is to protect that. And to retain the sovereignty and the security and longevity of that, that my foremothers and forefathers put forth .. I mean, that just got me. That just connected me so deeply to her.”
