Sometimes It Takes Years To Really Grasp

The Triumph Can't Be Had Without The Struggle. And I Know What Struggle Is. I Have Spent A Lifetime Trying To Share What It Has Meant To Be A Woman First In The World Of Sports So That Other Young Women Have A Chance To Reach Their Dreams.

I Knew That Whatever I Set My Mind To Do. I Could Do.

Black Women . . . Work Because Their Husbands Can't Make Enough Money At Their Jobs To Keep Everything Going. . . . They Don't Go To Work To Find Fulfillment, Or Adventure, Or Glamour And Romance, Like So Many White Women Think They Are Doing. Black Women Work Out Of Necessity.

'i Can't' Are Two Words That Have Never Been In My Vocabulary. I Believe In Me More Than Anything In This World.

Sometimes It Takes Years To Really Grasp What Has Happened To Your Life.
