Don't insult me today just because I'm poor, you don't know what my future holds!

My voice sounded like one of the guinea fowl that screeched in our trees as it pooped, but I never let that stop me.

I looked at my father and looked at those dry fields [in Malawi]. It was the future I couldn't accept.

I went to sleep dreaming of Malawi, and all the things made possible when your dreams are powered by your heart.

Don't insult me today just because I'm poor, you don't know what my future holds!

BEFORE I DISCOVERED THE miracles of science, magic ruled the world.

One thing that has helped me to become patient and cool is that I grew up with sisters.
