I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.
Audre LordeWhen I hear the deepest truths I speak coming out of my mouth sounding like my mother's, even remembering how I fought against her, I have to reassess both our relationship as well as the sources of my knowing.
