I don't wake up feeling empowered. I don't wake up feeling fearless.

Well, they don't bother her anymore."... if I walk in [a room] and I'm the only black woman in a room of white folks and they are making decisions, there is a power dynamic there where I feel like I may have to assert myself more, or I may be a little uncomfortable, depending on what's on the table for me to own," she said.
