I was homeless. I lived in a car for a couple of years. That was the worst. But nothing was worse than when I was 40 and my mom passed away. My mother was the best person I ever knew. Those were the two lowest points.

Too many women have given up the power over the years because men have created the terms.

I'd have to say I'm most proud of my mentoring camp that I do in Dallas every year for one hundred boys from single-parent homes. I was raised by a mother who was a Sunday school teacher and a father who worked hard. Together they taught me to give back.

Your setback is just a setup for your comeback.

God has positioned me just this way to be just like I am, to say what I say how I say it.

If you don't believe in God, then where is your moral barometer?
