"The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut. Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin colour,” she said referring to times she being jealously mocking for her bottom and another was comparing her to an ape.
She encouraged the audience especially women not to be scared of being cut deep as she maintained there are a lot good about the country as against what could be perceived wrong.
"The people in this country are universally good and kind and honest and decent,” she said. “Don’t be afraid of the country you live in. The folks here are good," she concluded.
