Clearly older women and especially older women who have led an active life or elder women who successfully maneuver through their own family life have so much to teach us about sharing, patience, and wisdom.

I'm for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.

To me, the black black woman is our essential mother, the blacker she is the more us she is and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people.

The most beautiful make-up of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.

There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.

Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.

I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of.
