    “Mmmhmm. Umm, There’s something my grandmother used to do whenever I’d start dating someone. I would tell her his name and she would say, “Oh, what part of town does he live in?” That was her way of asking if my boyfriend was white. Oh yeah, my grandmother was an out and out racist, so I know what prejudice looks like. It’s not about experience, James. It’s about gender. Reston’s saying I don’t have the balls to be President, and he means that literally. It’s offensive. It’s offensive to me, and to all the women whose votes he’s asking for.”
    “Yes, yes I am. And it’s not just Gov. Reston speaking in code about gender, it’s everyone, yourself included. The only reason we’re doing this interview in my house is because you requested it. This was your idea and yet here you are, thanking me for inviting you into my “lovely home.” That’s what you say to the neighbor lady who baked you chocolate chip cookies. This pitcher of iced tea isn’t even mine, it’s what your producers set here. Why? Same reason you called me a “real life Cinderella story.” It reminds people that I’m a woman without using the word. For you it’s an angle, I get that, and I’m sure you think it’s innocuous, but guess what, it’s not.”
    “Don’t interrupt me when I’m speaking. You’re promoting stereotypes, James. You’re advancing this idea that women are weaker than men. You’re playing right into the hands of Reston and into the hands of every other imbecile who thinks a woman isn’t fit to be commander-in-chief. Yes, Governor I’m talking about you. Seven years I served in the United States army. Which is seven more years than Governor Reston ever served. A fact you conveniently omitted from my intro. How about soldier, lieutenant https://youtu.be/zvSI_sg3e0Y

  • You don always have to react when provoked 🤭😅
    Each day you and I have about 100 chances to choose whether to be proactive or reactive.Reactive ppl make choices based on impulse .they like soda...if life or ppl shake them alittle but the pressure builds and they suddenly explode''Hey you stupid idiot!get out of my lane!''. But proactive ppl make choices based on values.they think before they act thy recognize they can't control everything tht happens to them but they can control wht they do about it Unlike reactive ppl who are full of carbonation, proactive ppl are like water...shake them up all you want,take off the lid ,and nothing 😅🤭No fizzing...no bubbling.. no pressure 🙉Y'all should be calm cool and always in control even when provoked☠️to live a mature happy open life🤗
