I am all of these. I have been called all of these. Women who speak their minds are often ignored. If a woman has a disability and speaks her mind the mouths of others are often agape in shock. The attitude of others is, "Who does she think she is?" "She should be grateful." (I am) "She should be appreciative." (I am) I will not keep silent. These labels are not negative. These labels fill me with pride. I am strong.
Thank you, Jane Goodall, for letting me know that I am not alone!
