I Love Harlem, It's Like

My Purpose Is Far Greater Than My Pain

The Only Crime I'm Guilty Of Is Being A Young Black Woman.

My Family Never Missed A Visit In Eight Months, Ever. I Cried Coming Out. I Didn't Cry Coming In. There's A Big Difference. I Believe That God Put Me There For A Reason, Incarceration Is Serious

I've Never Stabbed, Hurt, Killed, Stolen, Anything, But I Went To Jail For A Year. What Is That? My Pastor Said To Me The Fact That I'm Not Living Under A Bridge As A Crazy Woman, Talking To Myself, Is Amazing.

I'm A Child Of The Women's Movement. I Always Believed That I Could Do Anything. That Women Didn't Have To Be Limited In Any Way.
