You have been a survivor of course, as Foxy Brown, as Coffee and many of the other dynamic, YES, DYNAMIC, rolls you portrayed as an empowering ethnic female during that era. I'm from that era myself and am grateful to you for your courage, strength, and empowerment you posses and transcended to me and other young women of that era. HELL NO! Our parents, especially Our mothers did not want us watching Any movies with the name Pam Grier attached to it, and trust me, they never knew, but what they also didn't know, was how Proud, and tremendously inspired we felt after we left the movies, we'd talk about it for weeks on end. So "Thank You" for the inspiration and empowerment you gave to Young Black Girls Across America at that moment in time, Ms. Grier. It’s truly wonderful just to know that you are a cancer survivor,
