I believe the choice to become a mother is the choice to become one of the greatest spiritual teachers there is.

The only courage you will need is the courage to live the life you are meant to.

I really feel a sense of responsibility first as a creation of a force that I call God, that's bigger than myself. And because I'm black, I feel the responsibility to that. I feel the responsibility to my womanness. But more importantly, I feel a responsibility to my humanness.

A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.

What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction

Spirituality for me is recognizing that I am connected to the energy of all creation, that I am a part of it and it is always a part of me.

Failure is life at it's most poignant and it's only there to push you in the right direction.
