She was also to give her experience as a slave mother and religious woman. She was highly recommended as a public speaker, with the approval of many thousands who had heard her earnest appeals, including Wendell Phillips, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, and other distinguished men of the nation. At the close of her discourse she would offer for sale her photograph and a few of her choice songs.
