I don't struggle to forgive people. I find it quite easy to forgive people for the harms that they have inflicted on me. What I do find challenging is to forgive people for the harms they inflict on my daughters and family. So, I find it challenging when I see somebody else experience hurt. I also look at my children and family and then I realize, I don't stand inside their skin and that is for me a forgiveness practice I still need to engage in.

You have seen after Katrina just what failures there are in American Society.

I hope that when the time comes, I am treated with compassion and allowed to pass on to the next phase of life's journey in the manner of my choice.

If we succeed in empowering girls, we'll succeed in everything else.

Anything war can do, peace can do better.

If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

We need other human beings in order to be human.
