An nice lady in the back...asked what I thought about how we begin to move forward. I think it is up to each individual, which then moves to your family, which moves to your community. Each person, in their own life, let your life be a light for peace, for justice, for all that is good. Just let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Life is better when you share it.

Eating more consciously now feels like a way of being. I actually think about how my food got to my plate.

To be fully human is...to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and somehow put one foot in front of the other.

What I learned at a very early age was that I was responsible for my life. And as I became more spiritually conscious, I learned that we all are responsible for ourselves, that you create your own reality by the way you think and therefore act. You cannot blame your parents, your circumstances, because you are NOT your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.

You get to know who you really are in a crisis.

I always knew I'd be a millionaire by age thirty-two. In fact, I am going to be the richest black woman in America.
