Lorraine Elzia: “A woman should be a complete package on her own. She should
love herself and be able to take care of herself. She shouldn’t ever need anyone
else to make her feel whole. Having a man should not define her or be a necessity.

Daphni Cooper: I have my fave. When I turned 18. “When you decide to give

Sheryl Kindle: “No matter how fine you may be, don’t ever think a man won’t

Naa Koikoi-Aziza Zenzile Kebe: Always have people happy to see you come and
sorry to see you go and not the other way around
D.j. McLaurin: Keep your appearance up (hygiene, nails, dress, etc.). People
treat you the way you look. If you look like a bum, you’ll get treated like a bum.

voice in my head).
