Dream big - dream very big. Work hard - work very hard. And after you've done all you can, you stand, wait and fully surrender.

What I find powerful is a person with the confidence to be her own self.

I had no idea that being your authentic self could make me as rich as I've become. If I had, I'd have done it a lot earlier.

Always take a stand for yourself, your values. You're defined by what you stand for

I remember a specific moment, watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line, and her saying to me, 'you are going to have to learn to do this,' and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother's life.

There is no easy way out. If there were, I would have bought it. And believe me, it would be one of my favorite things!

I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.
