Another Word For Diversity: Change

In the 1950s, many girls were told what they were not allowed to do with their lives. I broke the mold and forged my own path.

————

“I want to play football.”

“No, you can be a mom.”

“I want to be a fireman.”

“No, wear a pretty dress to prom.”

I wanted desperately to reveal,

That I could leave a mark.

I’d seen both genders perform well. 

I wanted to ignite a spark.

I chose to inspire others by action and pen.

So, I decided I to tell tales and teach.  

Slowly at first, but then a powerhouse.

Many hundreds of folks I was able to reach. 

Don’t settle for others’ expectations.
