Women's issues have always been a part of my life. My goal is to bring the word 'feminism' back into the zeitgeist and reframe it.

Bulnerable without strength is vulnerable, and being vulnerable means you can be victimized.

I don't take myself as seriously as some people think, and I'd hate anyone to think I was preaching. That's the last thing I want.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

If one woman is suffering, then we are all suffering, and we need to put a voice to that.

I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.
