Everyone wins when children - and especially girls – have access to education. An educated girl is likely to increase her personal earning potential and prepare herself for a productive and fulfilling life, as well as reduce poverty in the whole community. Investing in girls' education also helps delay early marriage and parenthood. Our booming economies in Africa need more female engineers, teachers and doctors to prosper and sustain growth.

Music for me has been my breath, my backbone since I was a little kid. Anything that comes to my life, hard time or good time, I always find comfort in music.

I want everybody to be happy because, if you're happy, you are more open to other people. Don't let misery bring you down.

I want to look at myself in the mirror at the end of my life and say I've done my share and I'm proud of what I've done.

You cannot transform the society of people if the people are not part of the change.

If everybody can be happy with what they achieve with their life, this world would be a better place.

From the moment you are clear in your vision of yourself and how you project that vision in your family, your community and in the world, that's all that matters.
