I am a work in progress Dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding Offering me intricate patterns of questions Rhythms that never come clean And strengths that you still haven't seen

Birth is the epicenter of women's power

Second Wave feminism started with consciousness-raising groups, which sounds "big" but it's really just house parties. Women getting together and saying, "You feel this way?! Me too!" Hanging out is consciousness-raising.

Don't tell me what they did to you as though you had no choice. Tell me, isn't that your picture? Isn't that your voice.

For me, the stronger ground I have in my personal life, then the more will I have to fight the good fight.

Somedays the line I walk turns out to be straight - Other days the line tends to deviate.

I make such a good statistic, somebody should study me now; somebody's gotta be interested in how I feel, just cause I'm here, and I'm real.
