Margo Jefferson Zitate

My mother was not happy with the Afros that my friends and I emerged with - there's that crack in the book of 'Why, if a fly landed in there, he'd break his little wings trying to get out.' I was not pure dashiki, though - I was a combination of African dresses, miniskirts, tank tops, shawls, ethnic-looking earrings, sandals.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Meine Mutter war nicht glücklich mit den Afros, mit denen meine Freunde und ich aufgetaucht waren. Es gibt diesen Riss im Buch "Warum, wenn eine Fliege dort landet, würde er seine kleinen Flügel brechen und versuchen, herauszukommen." Ich war jedoch kein reines Dashiki - ich war eine Kombination aus afrikanischen Kleidern, Miniröcken, Pullovern, Schals, ethnisch aussehenden Ohrringen und Sandalen.

Houses of worship can be the heart of a community. They can be the cradle of a family. They can be places where our children go to learn, not just faith, but to make friends. They build connections. They are essential to a healthy America. And every community deserves the right to have those houses of worship operate in safety and peace.

At the end of your life, it's friendships, emotions and thoughts that you take with you, rather than what's in your bank account. So, even though people don't have a lot here, they are a lot richer in many ways and we can learn from that.

I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations - that's why we got married really quickly.

I think, over the years, the way my daughters' friends have embraced me has definitely made my daughters appreciate me more. Of course they take me for granted because I'm the one who's there, but listen, I don't want to be 'the cool mom' who lets things get out of control.That's not my lookout.
