Quotes You Love by Diverse Females

[doublestuf]

We moved in November and are finally getting around to painting DD's room. I wanted to have a little wall of quotes/mottos (printed and framed) by awesome females.

So far, I have in mind HRC's "To all the little girls..." and "Dream Big Fight Hard" by Elizabeth Warren. But of course those are 2 white ladies. Anyone have a favorite inspiring/encouraging/strong female quote or motto, especially by women who are BIPOC?
