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

I just love creating an environment where people can open up and say what's on their mind and in their heart.

Everyone just talks about the problems our teenage girls are facing and what they're dealing with. But there was, to me, a void in how they were being served or helped. I thought, 'Wow, I'd love to create something.

I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I've never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you're not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.

Girls are so often pitted against each other as enemies or adversaries. We even see it in 'Us' magazine: Who wore it better?

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

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