You can tell people of the need to struggle, but when the powerless start to see that they really can make a difference, nothing can quench the fire.
At 17, the first time I saw a dead body, I froze. By 31 it was a natural occurrence for me, and no group of people should live like that.
The one thing I have never been afraid of is standing before important people and speaking my mind. I represent women who may never have the opportunity to go to the UN or meet with a president. I'm never afraid to speak truth to power.
I always tell people, anger is like liquid. It's fluid, it's like water. You put it in a container and it takes the shape of that container. So many people you see in prison, unleashing war on their people, they are angry, and they take their anger and put it into a violent container.
Leadership is standing with your people. People say you have to live to fight another day, but sometimes you have to show you are a true leader.
Do one good thing everyday, that someone is afraid to do
