The only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them.

I am desperate for change - now - not in 8 years or 12 years, but right now.

Being healthy isn't about inches, pounds, or how kids look - it's about how they feel and making sure they feel good about themselves. So rather than focusing on appearance, it's important to emphasize to kids that when we eat healthy food and stay active, we feel better, and we can perform better in everything we do, from athletics to academics.

I would be depressed if I felt I could never eat the things that I love. I also don't want my girls to be obsessed about food.

We learned about dignity and decency - that how hard you work matters more than how much you make... that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.

My happiness is measured against my kids' happiness - when they're in a good place, I feel really good.

Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost.
