What I love most about Mother's Day is that I am acknowledged and honored for being a mother.

For my diet, I choose mostly organic. But in general, I am a big believer in trying to strike a balance with everything.

Midwives and doctors play a crucial role preventing unnecessary maternal deaths. They educate women about nutrition, health and family planning. And they step in when complications arise.

I never thought modeling would become my career. I thought it was something I'd do to pay my way through college.

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

A small gold plain cross was passed down from my grandma to my mom, then to me, and now to my daughter. It is always nice to own something that connects you to the women who made it possible for you to exist.

Take good care of your skin and hydrate. If you have good skin, everything else will fall into place.
