Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV)

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

Excerpt:

My experience as a Black woman in America has afforded me the opportunity to sit at the feet of some of the strongest, bravest, most courageous women and men who have ever lived. That view from their feet also allowed me to see the physical deformities and disfigurements that resulted from repeated life wounds left unattended.
