You were seen, you were heard and you matter.

I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.

I don't want to have to get the lesson of losing [things like health and moving about freely] to appreciate what it was.

Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Anybody pretending to be anything other than who you really are-you will never, ever reach your personal potential.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

Your mistake does not define who you are...you are your possibilities.
