When I was born the baby cards said “too bad it’s a girl. I have knocked heads with people telling what girls can’t do for 66 years now. In the 70’s I marched for the ERA, and said “yes I can” to live my life, have a “non traditional career” and live by my principles. I will not be silent until all people have the equal rights and opportunities. I have a disability but don’t step on my abilities.
