Last week I spoke at an event where women on the panel thought what a woman was could be debated. I was not standing for it and I got this lovely message from a sister who was there. I share this because it’s beyond depressing this is where we are. 1/3 
As a black woman who is fighting daily for the most over looked women and girls in the world, it’s scary to see what is happening. Biology matters. 73 million girls are at risk of #FGM because of their sex and if I can’t say that, I can’t do my job. 2/3
My exchange here last night with a woman who once stood with me but now calls me unkind for holding the same view she did when she was in office was a wake up call. I am kind, I care but will not throw women under the bus ever. ✌🏽 3/3
