I cannot believe that is has already been four weeks—four weeks of constant arduous work that keeps expanding my mind in dimensions I have never sought for before. This past week, it was the dimension of speech writing, the layer I have never thought I would be able to achieve because I am a terrible writer… Initially, I planned on writing about slavery as if I lived in the 19th century as a slave owner coming to a realization of how slaves impede the growth of this country morally.…

stereotyping you from left to right. This is what Maya Angelou was stating in the novel, “Champion of the World”.
