12. She has fears. That is why she is so empathetic.

She knows the fear of not knowing where you are going to get the money to put food in front of your kids at mealtime.

She knows the fear of living in a shithole flat run managed by an abusive overseer.

She knows the fear of those sleek black cars with lights on the top and bigotry driving.

She knows yet she doesn't submit.

She knows and uses that power to help others.




(Note- not saying that is her direct experience, but she understands with a knowledge from deep in her soul.)
