With all of the divisiveness that is going on in the country we live in so much of it is based around just fear of the other. And anyone who does not look like me walk like me talk like me have sex like me they're the other and I'm afraid of them. And hopefully we will learn that it's just not scary. There's nothing to be afraid of.
It was a very cool thing to be a smart girl as opposed to some other different kind. And I think that made a great deal of difference to me growing up and in my life afterward.
