Yes, I think about four layers underneath her words I can grasp what she's trying to get at.

I think it is good to see black Ceo's there are not many. Do not use it as a excuse use it to make you stronger to say I'm proving the world wrong right now. The world does not care how sensitive you are especially black people we have to help each other to strive for excellence that's where community service comes into play. I let other people know my mistakes and bad experiences so they won't make those same mistakes that's what I mean by taking my words and using them to your advantage sometimes it helps to hear other people's mistakes so you know what not to do.
