Feminism Quote by Gabrielle Union

“That creates yet more work for the next woman up. That’s what can happen when we mentor and empower.

Do you appreciate how difficult this is?”…” quote by Gabrielle Union

That’s what happens when we realize that any joy we find in the next woman’s pain or struggle is just a reflection of our own pain: “See how hard this is? Do you appreciate how difficult this is?” Instead, I want to heal her and me.””
