It Is Wonderful When You Don't Have The Fear, And A Lot Of The Time I Don't ... I Focus On What Needs To Be Done Instead.

When I Went Back Home, I Was Constantly Being Reminded, I'm An African Woman, And So There Are Certain Things I Shouldn't Do, Certain Ambitions That I Should Not Entertain. That Was A Problem For Me Because I Had Never Thought Of Myself As An African Woman, Never Thought Of Myself As A Woman To Begin With. For Me The Limit Was My Capacity, My Capability.

The Way In Which We Can Promote Peace, Is By Promoting Sustainable Management Of Our Resources, Equitable Distribution Of These Resources, And That The Only Way You Can Actually Do That, Is That Then You Have To Have A Political, Economic System That Facilitates That. And Then You Get Into The Issues Of Human Rights, Justice, Economic Justice, Social Justice, And Good Governance Or Democratic Governance. That's How It Ties Up.
