Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.

I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists.

Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.

The political is personal.

the less powerful group usually knows the powerful one much better than vice versa - blacks have had to understand whites in order to survive, women have had to know men - yet the powerful group can afford to regard the less powerful one as a mystery.

I’ve only ever met one woman who actually was a prostitute of her own free will. She didn’t have a pimp. She could pick and choose her customers. That’s so rare. So we have to look at the reality and not romanticize it. We have to be clear that you have the right to sell your own body but nobody has the right to sell anybody else’s body. No one has that right.

learning must travel the distance from head to heart.
