I was in a sushi bar and it dawned on me - how could I discriminate between a cow and a fish?

I had dropped out of school and was a runaway, so I didn't have family to fall back on if I didn't work. I didn't have a lot of other options of making money other than modeling.

My days are jam-packed with carpools, classroom assistance, tending to chickens, dogs and seven acres of olive trees!

I believe that as women, we must commit ourselves to sustaining the progress made by our foremothers who fought so hard for women's equality and liberation.
