Don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have, because history has shown us that courage can be contagious, and hope can take on a life of its own.

There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.

Your story is what you have, what you will always have. It is something to own.

You can't make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s the power of using your voice.

If you don’t get out there and define yourself, you’ll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others.

Failure is an important part of your growth and developing resilience. Don’t be afraid to fail.

When you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you.

Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others. It’s about how it feels to you.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about where you get yourself in the end. There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice.
