Marian Wright Edelman Quotes
I grew up in a very religious family and it is the motivating force to every thing I do. I am fortunate to have had adults all around me who really lived their faith, in helping other people and doing the best you can do.

But we were never hopeless and we never despaired because we had adults out there struggling with us, being there for us, and buffering us.
