In her mind, she was like the modern-day Job from the Christian Bible. What would happen if God took away everything that you know and love to see if you would shake, bend, and break? Before she was a professor, she was a female who wanted to love one man and be loved by him forever. Love doesnt work that way, though.

We have got so many people talking about love and what it requires, but my aim is to talk to our Young Black Queens, helping them restore their mental health, physical health and spiritual health. We have been characterized as ugly, as angry black woman, complicated, ignorant and much more, but truth be told we are just continuing a cycle that the slave matters induced our ancestors into. It is time to break that cycle. We are not of the above, but we are still broken carrying the weight of what our ancestors brought forth. It is time to teach the Young Black Queens that they are beyond beautiful and there is absolutely no reason to feel inferior because of the color of our skin.
