“History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time.”

“We always have to remind ourselves of how fragile life on this planet is and what responsibilities we have.”

“We always see strong women. We often see strong black women. We rarely see messy, fragile black women.”
