Let excellence be your brand... When you are excellent, you become unforgettable.

The ultimate comfort zone is within.

I've learned to rely on the strength I inherited from all those who came before me-the grandmothers, sisters, aunts, and brothers who were tested with unimaginable hardships and still survived. 'I go forth alone, and stand as ten thousand,' Maya Angelou proclaimed in her poem 'Our Grandmothers.' When I move through the world, I bring all my history with me-all the people who paved the way for me are part of who I am.

It's up to each of us to get very still and say, 'This is who I am.' No one else defines your life. Only you do.

It does not matter how you came into the world, what matters is that you are here.

My goal is always, how do you get better?

There's nothing worse than betraying yourself.
