I am a woman with a calling for social struggle and public service.

For me, a better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect but to be elected.

Allah is my witness. I will not be silent. I will never surrender.

It is not the roaring thunder that smites, but the silent lightning.

What is written is more influential than what is said.

I learn a lot; what I learn cannot be expressed in words.

I believe that God is carrying us whether we know it or not and is always present. I love what C.S. Lewis said - "You don't have a soul, you are a soul. You have a body."

I don't want to be a spokesman for family values, but that's the way my standup is perceived.

God is great. God is faithful. And His love is set upon us. We come as we are, with trembling trust.
