However, you are not alone. Generations of women in your family have chosen. Women around the world have chosen. We all have chosen at one time in our lives. We stand behind you now screaming:

Choose to see your value.

Christopher Poindexter

Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics

“The human spirit is poetry enough and I understand that, but I write to make it transparent to a world in love with bright screens and rising technology.”
Christopher Poindexter
