When and Where I Enter by Paula Giddings
Unbought and Unbossed (Book and DVD) Shirley Chisholm
I remember being in elementary school and we all gathered to watch the shuttle - and it exploded. The teachers were in just as much shock as we were. No one expected that to happen.
My first job was at Chick-Fila at West Oaks Mall. It was horrible - I ruined every order. I finally asked my mom to help me find a job at Memorial City Hospital where she worked in Administration. I worked there through high school, college and post-college.
I believe skills and experiences are transferable. However, I do believe officeholders should be strong communicators, willing to serve the community, vote based on the feedback of your constituents and not political pressures and stand in integrity and vision for the betterment of humanity and not personal success.
