    10:26 realization of being treated less than 13:36 lesson from friend Maya Angelou on men. When people show you who they are, believe them. 18:12 you become what you believe 20:00 follow Tina Turner. The wildest dreams tour. 77,000 dreams of women. “The deeper the wound, the smaller the dreams.” You needed to dream a bigger dream for yourself. 22:50 Get God on the whisper. Try to get it on a whisper. Phenomenal women poem.

    Goodness, 21 years hence 😊 I remember Oprah giving the speech and reading it in the Boston Globe at my office that Monday. Inspirational words and woman. (Personally, I thought the ladies who wanted to simply meet her and speak with her were gracious. They saw it as a gift more so than hitting jackpot/lottery.)
