I See Myself As An Educator.

I Think, Though, As African-american Women, We Are Always Trained To Value Our Community Even At The Expense Of Ourselves, And So We Attempt To Protect The African-american Community.

But I Think It Would Be Irresponsible For Me Not To Say What I Really Believe In My Heart To Be True - That There Are Some Serious Inequities That We Face As Women And That We Can Work To Address These Inequities

I Am Really Proud To Be A Part In Whatever Way Of Women Becoming Active In The Political Scene. I Think It Was The First Time That People Came To Terms With The Reality Of What It Meant To Have A Senate Made Up Of 98 Men And Two Women.

Testifying Has Helped Me Understand That One Individual's Behavior And Actions Make A Difference. That My Actions Are Important To People Other Than Myself

Whether We Call It A Job Or A Career, Work Is More Than Just Something We Do. It Is A Part Of Who We Are.
