Famous quotes containing the words theresa brown and/or brown:
“... when you do get a job everybody says, Well, they wanted a black woman, which necessarily puts you on a level where you have to prove yourself above being a woman and being black.... Now, I would say, in certain situations, it helped me simply because I was mildly attractive, not because I was black or a woman. That gets you more mileage than anything else.... God help you if youre not an attractive woman.”
—Theresa Brown (b. 1957)

Went home and addressed a short note to the King:
If you please will excuse me
I wont come to tea;
For homes the best place for
All people like me!”
