A Quote by Gwen Bristow

But fighting to give women and girls a fighting chance isn’t a nice thing to-do. It isn’t some luxury that we get to when we have time on our hands to spend.

Our past as well as our future. It could have been completely destroyed when we were brought to the New World as slaves. They even took away our drums.
