What we have to learn from the women of Africa is that every day is worth living.

The richness of Africa, culturally, is vast. That's the challenge that we have to face, because most of the time, people in the western world, their attention span is really narrow.

What you do that makes you happy and that makes your family, the people that love you, their opinion counts more than anybody out there that is putting a category on you or defining you according to the old phantasmal.

Even the most racist person make a very painful racial comment, give him a smile. It's better than you take a weapon on him because he's just gonna go like, "Oh." He's just being stupid.

You cannot transform the society of people if the people are not part of the change.

From the moment you are clear in your vision of yourself and how you project that vision in your family, your community and in the world, that's all that matters.

Don't let misery bring you down.
