The next time you look into the mirror, try to let go of the storyline that says you're too fat or too sallow, too ashy or too old, your eyes are too small or your nose too big; just look into the mirror and see your face. When the criticism drops away, what you will see then is just you, without judgment, and that is the first step towards transforming your experience of the world.

The expectation of my life was that I might be able to work for some good white folks. Now I got some good white folks working for me.

What I know for sure is that you feel real joy in direct proportion to how connected you are to living your truth.

What we all desire is the fullest, highest expression of ourselves.

Don?t back down just to keep the peace. Standing up for your beliefs builds self-confidence and self-esteem.
