I try to be thoughtful about spreading the wealth: young designers. Mixing things up is important to me.

My priority will be making sure my family is happy and settled.

My husband and I make physical activity a priority in our lives, and our daughters love being active as well. And while we each have sports and activities we enjoy, we try to go for hikes or bike rides together whenever we get the chance. We've found that the best way to help our girls be active is to find activities they truly enjoy.

Doing the impossible is the history of this nation. It is how this country was built

Every girl, no matter where she lives, deserves the opportunity to develop the promise inside of her.

After I got out of law school and worked in a big law firm, I thought, there are so many kids like me, in my neighborhood, that could be here if they had more support from their families, better financial aid. But the gap is so wide once you miss that opportunity. So I was always interested in figuring out, How do you bridge that? I felt, as a lawyer, when I was mentoring and working with kids, that I gained a level of groundedness that I just couldn't get sitting on the forty-seventh floor of a fancy firm.

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