If you could have a conversation with
anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose? Why?

I would love to speak to the late Dorothy Irene Height. She was an
American administrator and educator, was a civil rights and women’s rights activist
specifically focused on the issues of African-American women, including unemployment,
illiteracy, and voter awareness. She was the president of the National Council of Negro
Women for forty years and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994 and the
Congressional Gold Medal in 2004. I would love to speak with her about her motivations
and experiences being a freedom fighter. |

be positive and powerful. I freaking love it! |
