"From what I remember you brought the maximum amount of enthusiasm to the Malcolm X Park Circle held on Sundays. You wore all the traditional fabrics, conducted traditional dance movements, and made sure that everyone stayed on beat. I remember you always danced with your shoes off and conducted the energy all around with your head and hands movements. I have also seen you taught other people how to move with rhythm of the drums." - Ken Albert, participated in the Malcolm X Park Circle when Ms. Abney led the circle from 2009 - 2015
