"[W]e need to talk over not only those things which are of vital importance to us as women, but also the things that are of especial interest to us as colored women."

Where there's self importance, there's only a very little bit of you and that little bit is distorted. It's in a holding pattern that is false to what it knows. That holding pattern forbids you, in that little bit of you, from being the rest of you.
