Domestic Life

"I have always believed that there is no such thing as menial work! Every work whether it is in the kitchen or elsewhere, respect to your own work is a must for dignity lies in how you perceive your work."

"The world is running today because of the efforts, love and empathy of a few good people. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t know where we would be. I have seen extreme poverty and suffering – all I can do is to make sure whoever comes to my door does not go away hungry."

"In order to protect my legitimate rights in marriage, I started a journey of fighting for my rights. Along the way, I not only protected myself, but also started a new life chapter, helping to find lost children and provide help for women who were going through divorce."

“As a woman, I always worked freely for what I believed in. If you have a cause you believe in, you can achieve anything. As women learn about their rights, they no longer accept being subjected to  violence."

"I have spent years helping my sons understand that for 400 years, Black people have tried to appeal to White America's humanity. We have preached love and practiced non-violence even in the face of hatred and terror. We worked within the system, played by the rules, colored within the lines while desperately trying to prove our worth."

"The skill, creativity and resilience of people working in the home is the bedrock of society. This work continues through pandemics, war, economic depression or prosperity and is still disproportionally done by women."

“Ideas of equality, race, fairness and justice start in the home. My life is dedicated to creating homes and communities that are safe, equal and free from violence and discrimination."
