About This Quote

In the world, it will be women, mostly colored and poor. women will have to bury children, and support themselves through grief. The world is not a place for the weak to go. It is a place for the strong! No, you can’t get away with hurting people anymore because we are everywhere! We wear all kinds of different kinds of clothes and skin colors and we come from every part of this world. We’re here to stay and we’re going to make sure that we don’t die, we kill you right in your tracks!
