I noticed that no matter where I went in the country, there was this group of questions that got asked. I would track them and keep them in categories. Like body image, school, family, friendship, you name it, the emotional life of a teenage girl.

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it, I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

I get enough sleep. I take very good care of myself. Growing up as a dancer, you know your body so well, you know what to do to overcome something.

I'm no expert standing at a podium giving speeches. I share heartbeats. Compassion.

My mission is to give girls the tools to be able to blossom into their best selves.

I tell girls, 'If you're tall and feel too tall, the answer is to be taller.'
