Let Me Break It Down For You

It's Emotional Warfare Telling The People We Love, The Most, The Truth About Ourselves.

My Mother Gave Me A Piece Of Bread, Which Was Love And Encouragement. The Correction Was The Meat, The Substance. And Then She Would Sandwich That, Sandwich That With Another Piece Of Bread, Which Was Love And Encouragement. That Was Very Important In Shaping And Molding Our Morality, Our Understanding Of Ourselves, Making Sure That We Didn’t Think We Were Better Than Or Less Than Anyone, Feeling No More Worthy Or No Less Worthy Than Anyone Else.

I Think The Work Ethic That Was Established In My Family Was Something Very Important. If You Plant The Seed, If You Sow Sparingly And Reap Sparingly. If You Sow In Abundance You'll Reap In Abundance.

There Are A Lot Of Young Black Girls Who I Meet In My Travels Who Don't Have A Lot Of Self-esteem. So If I Communicate To Them That They're Beautiful, No White Person Should Find Fault In That. It Doesn't Mean That Young White Girls Aren't Beautiful, Because They Are Just As Beautiful.

Be Honest, Brutally Honest. That Is What's Going To Maintain Relationships.
