There is a list of things I’m not allowed to discuss at the dinner table! I am extraordinarily passionate about the Black Death, which is not something most people are into Picture Quote #1

True feminine beauty is not a complicated formula involving hundreds of rules to remember.

In the 20th century, evangelical Christians in America have naively accepted the role assigned to us by an anti-religious, anti-Christian consensus in our society.

Over the past fifty years or so, scientists have allowed the conventions of expression available to them to become entirely too confining. too confining.

I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again Picture Quote #1

I was not allowed to be an individual. I was black and I was a woman - and I was a black woman Picture Quote #1
