I think Black people need to take self-esteem seriously.

. . .there is an element of Play that is almost ritualistic in Black folk life. It serves to mediate the tensions, stress, and pain of constant exploitation and oppression.

There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as feminist ideas are understood only by a well-educated few.

Changing how we see images is clearly one way to change the world.

To truly love we must learn to mix various ingredients - care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, and trust, as well as honest and open communication.

I feel that my environment reflects my belief in the grace and art and elegance of living simply.

Choosing to be honest is the first step in the process of love. There is no practitioner of love who deceives. Once the choice has been made to be honest, then the next step on love's path is communication.
