Wise words from writer, professor, poet and civil rights activist Audre Lorde. She has more than her share of detractors but if you are honest and accept the truth about yourself, truth becomes an impenetrable shield of armor.
I understand that I possess keen insights into life, spout brilliantly worded aphorisms and provide profoundly positive and life-altering guidance without reservation to all who ask without any thought of personal gain. My astonishing good looks and powerful charisma that charms even the most virulent detractors serves to make me a target of praise that others might cause others to become arrogant and careless. But I humbly accept my gifts and seek to share them with the world.
The truth has set me free, but I do accept donations. Details upon request.
