lady hilary is speaking.

i didn't vote for her. never been a huge fan.

but as the crowd cheered for her, and she stood ready to give a speech in one of the biggest moments of her life, in support of barack obama... i almost cried. it had to take some serious courage, some real chutzpah, some deep down va-jay-jay power, to get up in her screaming loud orange pantsuit (that we all know the talking heads will be commenting more on than what came out of her mouth) and make this speech (and make a pantsuit joke... she indeed referred to the sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits).

i am grateful for her courage to make this fight, even if i didn't always like how she fought it. her presence on this stage, her words, will make it easier for me to stand and use my words to claim space as a leader in the church.
