00:00:03.660 We are not victims.

00:00:06.900 I don't need, I want to be strong.
00:00:10.980 I don't want to be seen as a victim.
00:00:12.860 Imagine if I was just weeping and crying now because I've been called names in the media,
00:00:16.180 which I have been.
00:00:16.840 I've been attacked brutally.
00:00:18.660 Like it's been, talk about being victimized.
00:00:21.420 But do I see it the way I'm like, no, you're not going to get me down.
00:00:25.400 Does it hurt sometimes?
00:00:26.500 Yes, but I'm not going to be a victim.
00:00:27.860 I am going to define myself and I am going to take responsibility for myself, the words
00:00:32.680 I use, the talents I have, and I'm going to move forward no matter how much I get knocked

00:01:04.580 in the workplace.
00:01:06.520 And I, so it's going to happen no matter where you go.
00:01:12.380 So what you have to learn is how are you going to deal with these people when you encounter
