Mimi: Wow that was pretty powerful! I've seen a lot of poetry slam events here in Chicago and it is so good to see and hear Gabrielle say something that is so important and amazing. It is a prime example of why I love great speakers and how words can really be a call to action. I don't know how and where you found the video, but its brilliant!! Thanks for sharing.
@ I know – she made me cry and also want to run out and do so many things—
Mimi,
This brought tears to my eyes too. So very powerful, so deeply connecting for me.
Mimi, as I watch this, I also want you to know how much you mean to me…you are a gift in my life, and a dear friend.
@ Lance: Thanks Lance – no others words needed.
