IT'S MY BIRTHDAY
… I am woman, hear me roar!
Born into a lower-class, uneducated family, there was no visible influence urging me to be bold or successful.
My entire life has been a journey of gathering threads—threads of hope, possibility, and faith. Even when it seemed I had finally collected enough evidence to create a beautiful tapestry and walk confidently through life, it somehow still didn’t feel like enough. I had to keep going. The journey to freedom is glorious, but it is not a straight one or an easy one.
