I May Not Be Able To Work

I Was Conscious Of The Fact That It Could Be To My Disadvantage To Marry A White Guy - That Some Folks Would Hold That Against Me.

Can I Be Blunt? Yes. Can I Be Diplomatic? Yes. Can I Concoct A Mixture Of Vinegar And Honey When The Circumstances Warrant? Yes.

If You're Trying To Get Something Done, There Will Always Be People Who Don't Want To See You Get Something Done, Or Who Have A Stake In The Status Quo. And If They Approach That Through Ad Hominem Criticism Of You, You've Got To Have Enough Confidence And Thickness Of Skin To Be Able To Endure.

I Have To Separate My Personal Concerns From My Professional Responsibilities.

Be Who You Are. If You Spend All Of Your Time Worrying About How People View You, You Will Not Be Either Faithful To Yourself Or Effective In What You're Trying To Do.
