You Want To Be A Writer? A Writer Is Someone Who Writes Every Day, So Start Writing. You Don't Have A Job? Get One. Any Job. Don't Sit At Home Waiting For The Magical Opportunity. Who Are You? Prince William? No. Get A Job. Go To Work. Do Something Until You Can Do Something Else.

I'm A Black Woman Every Day, And I'm Not Confused About That. I'm Not Worried About That. I Don't Need To Have A Discussion With You About How I Feel As A Black Woman, Because I Don't Feel Disempowered As A Black Woman.

I Happen To Like Debating, And I Like To Debate Like A Lawyer, And I Can Argue Any Points To Death, And I Will.

I Think The Point Of America, Our Planet, The Reason We're All Here, One Of The Best Things That We Can Do Is Be Concerned About Something Even When It Doesn't Concern Us. That's The Whole Point. The Fact That I've Never Had To Use A Planned Parenthood, The Fact That I've Never Been In Need Of Medical Services I Couldn't Afford Or Didn't Have Access To, Doesn't Mean I Shouldn't Be Concerned About The Fact That Other Women Don't Have That Access.

Finally I Want To Say This: If You Are A Kid And You Are Out There And You Are Chubby And Not So Cute And Nerdy And Shy And Invisible And In Pain, Whatever Your Race, Whatever Your Gender, Whatever Your Sexual Orientation, I’m Standing Here To Tell You: You Are Not Alone. Your Tribe Of People, They Are Out There In The World. Waiting For You.
