Black women Quote by Bonnie Greer
““Through her voice I saw a free woman, down on her land, a woman who knew how to kill her own chickens, hunt her own possum, cut her own cotton, fix her own roof, make her own whiskey, walk in her own shoes, and speak her mind, tell her own story. A black woman. Ready for the journey. The Journey.””
