“Black? Woman? Who cares! Conservative is what the residents of Nashville will come to respect.”
And those that have met her do.
From her own perspective she is a conservative who happens to be a woman and “black”. She is a conservative from her own education and personal Christian religious values. Being “black” and a woman is who she is as well. She can’t change or deny that.
Don’t depreciate her value just because she is a “black” woman.
