It was TOUGH to get to where I am, to get the following that I do have on SOCIAL media and all the fans out there, which I greatly appreciate, but I would LOVE to have a template so the next girl who grows up doesn't have to go through a LOT of the hardships that we faced in our GENERATION.

Whatever hardships there have been in my life I still live in a very privileged POSITION. FEAR is not knowing where your next meal is coming from. Fear is seeing a CHILD get HURT.

There's a WAY of DEALING with HARDSHIPS that are healthier than GOING out. That's what I've LEARNED.

I was 10 YEARS old when my father was assassinated in 1968. Then, I had some SENSE of the SACRIFICES and HARDSHIPS required of the families of a leader who was constantly in the news.

A community that sees so CLEARLY its own disadvantage or its own HARDSHIPS ALSO has a harder time seeing its potential: its ability to work together to change the community and change their lives.
