Where I'm from, you learned about God before you learned to read and write. Our faith is what grounds us.

My faith is tested daily.

Our challenges make us unique, and how we deal with them makes us unique.

You can't be from Montgomery, Alabama, and not have a background in the church. It's at the core of who we are as a people.

The things that scare you only make you better and stronger.

I do believe that everyone has something to contribute.

I think if I weren't so squeamish, I would have been some sort of forensic analyst. And I can't do anything with a microscope, because then I start thinking about the world of germs around us.
