My motto in life is 'If you think it, you can do it' and if we all apply that thought we can end hunger the world over.

My parents gave me stability and a belief in myself and in all the possibilities life has to offer. I was told the only limitations I would ever face were those I placed upon myself.

I refuse to allow prejudice to defeat me.

Healthy children are born from healthy, respected, well-nourished and educated mothers and it is imperative that they have a voice in the decisions which affect them. If you empower a mother and let her have her say towards a poverty-free future, the positive impact this would have on ending hunger will be immense.

I've had some incredible moments in my life - thus far. I hope a lot more are coming.

I often feel the need of a man to take care of me, even though I can certainly take care of myself.

I am a combination of my entire family.
