I will tell you that there have been no failures in my life. I don't want to sound like some metaphysical queen,but there have been no failures. There have been some tremendous lessons.

I did not believe what I was told about being poor and black and female in Mississippi in 1954.

One of my best moves is to surround myself with friends who, instead of asking, 'Why?' are quick to say, 'Why not?' That attitude is contagious.

Find the courage to seek out your big dream, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.

You want to be in the driver’s seat of your own life because if you are not, life will drive you.

Making a Different Choice Gives You the Opportunity to Live a Different Life.

Your life is big. Keep reaching.
