If nothing else, I want women to understand that they are powerful. If you look back at history, in almost every big moment, in every leap forward, you find ordinary women at the core. We have more ability to make changes in the world than we can imagine if we have the courage to try.

My children are still young, but I try to talk to them about giving back and how important it is, just to look at the world, be invested in things, to be passionate about things, to have a dream.

In a hundred years, how do you want the world to be? Everybody should get together to make the world a better place.

No other health disparity is so stark; virtually every woman who dies giving birth lives in a poor country.

One thing modeling taught me is that the spotlight can change everything.

I can contribute, be valuable and grow in many ways, since my interests are so varied. That is very satisfying.

Prenatal care is one of the most effective ways to reduce maternal mortality because it identifies complications or high risks before emergency situations.
