The message of our campaign is "Make every mother and child count". This campaign is not just about health. It is also a powerful call for radical progress in women's rights and the rights of their children. Too often, the health of mothers and children does not count. In too many parts of the world, they are forgotten.

The best lesson that I've learned from my mother is that she just never accepted no for an answer and I think that's something that has stayed with me.

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.

I'm a mom. I'm from Ethiopia. I gave birth in the U.S. and had all the proper care available to me. If I had given birth in Ethiopia - I don't know if I might have even survived it.

When countries commit to protecting vulnerable lives, they should receive support from those who can provide it in order to make their programs a success.

I want to spend as much time as possible with my children, so I always like to keep my beauty and fashion routines effortless... but still chic!

It's always a tricky thing, trying to make aid sustainable.
