I've always been a closet jock, but when I got married and had kids, that fell by the wayside.

It's all about, you know, continuing to get to know ourselves in a very diverse and complicated country that is America. It is a wonderful place to live. But because it is so diverse, our challenges are complex.

Fashion is about so much more than just a pretty pair of pumps or the perfect hemline. For so many people across the country, it is a calling, it is a career, and it's a way they feed their families.

Sometimes the issue is about whether families and communities think girls are even worthy of an education in the first place. It's about whether girls are valued only for their labor and reproductive capacities or for their minds as well. And it's about whether women are viewed as second-class citizens or as full human beings entitled to the same rights and opportunities as men.

It should be fun introducing kids to fruits and vegetables. If you start young, it will be something that they'll attach to really quickly.

I tell this to my girls all the time: This journey we're on is a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity.

Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.
