'my Life' Is Not An Autobiography. It's

You Can Hate Me. You Can Go Out There And Say Anything You Want About Me, But You Will Love Me Later Because I Told You The Truth.

Life Is Full Of Trials And Tribulations. It's Dramatic When You Don't Treat People Right When You're In The Tribulations, But I Know Now How To Get Out Of It. You Have To Make A Decision To Say 'no More', And Then You Know What To Do When The Trials Happen.

When Someone Comes Up To Me And Says, 'mary, You Helped Save My Marriage', Or, 'mary, You Helped Me Get Out Of This Abusive Relationship', I'm In It, Really In Their Lives. And I'm So Passionate About My Feelings, But Also About Showing People The Way Through Theirs.

I Do Consider Myself Part Of Black History.

I've Been A Tomboy My Whole Life. But Then You Get Older, You Get Married, You Soften Up.
