“We all come from women, no matter our race, color, or religion. To disrespect them is to disrespect yourself. I will teach my daughter what my mother has taught me- be strong, be proud, don’t back down in the face of adversity, speak up (even if your voice shakes), learn, don’t let ANYONE treat you like shit no matter who they are, ask questions, be independent, make your own money, work, laugh, laugh a lot, and when that lightbulb is burned out, don’t wait on a man to change, change it yourself!! 💪🏼💡”
