Common Sense + Courage = Solutions...Frances Perkins

"Most of man's [woman's] problems upon this planet, in the long history of the race, have been met and solved either partially or as a whole experience based on common sense and carried out with courage."

To My Daughter: You Are Worthy Of Being Heard!...Kerry Washington

"I just want [daughter Isabelle] to know that she's heard. Really heard, because I feel like that is what we all really want. When I think about any of the missteps in my life that I've made, all of which I'm grateful for, it's because I just so wanted to be truly seen and heard for who I am and was afraid I wasn't or wouldn't be. 

I see you, I hear you, I'm with you as you are."

 --Kerry Washington, Actress
