I am a middle-aged African American Female living in the Arkansas Delta. I have spent the majority of my adult life advocating for the rights of oppressed and underserved people. I do not believe that people should be judged based on their color, gender, religion, sexual orientation, differences of opinion or any other difference. I believe that people should be judged on what they bring to the table and what they contribute.
