Your life is much more important that you can imagine... it is your first treasure.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

There's something beautiful about the fact that Obama was not just elected, but elected decisively across racial, and socio-economic and cultural groups and that we all celebrated in his win.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I refuse to allow any man-made differences to separate me from any other human beings.

A woman needs someone she can trust, someone who laughs when she laughs, but who has different ideas so she can learn from and teach to them. She needs someone who will stand up with her and encourage her to be a woman-not just a female. See where you are, admit what you know, and what you need, and search for a sister friend.

I sustain myself with the love of family.
