I’m an idealist, a liberal, a free thinker and an analyst. I read, write, research and question. I speak, protest, shout and criticize but what I do not do is pretend to know something that I don’t and make irresponsible assertions and judgments based on that ignorance. There seems to be a lot of that going around. An opinion is only as good as the facts you base it on. {{in my opinion}} ;)
Too often are services in the name of social reform performed in some clandestine search for monetary or materialistic gratification. With all of the technology and expertise offered, today’s society has lost touch with the mental and collective rewards community service and advocacy has to offer.
We live in a society that has failed to acknowledge the full extent of our debt to women. Ending the use of cutting hate language could be the foundation for this revolution.
“There are inherent dangers in building an identity based on the prejudices of one's oppressor; eventually the line between myth and morality becomes dangerously irreversibly blurred.
-Joan Morgan
"I am a Black Feminist. I mean I recognize that my power as well as my primary oppressions come as a result of my blackness as well as my womaness, and therefore my struggles on both of these fronts are inseparable."
