God has put me in a really good position where I can make the choices to walk away if something is not right, so that way I can keep my integrity.

It's so important to forgive people for their wrongs in your own life because every bit of it was for a reason-it was to form the person that you are.

My mother was truly my saving grace, because she would take me to church with her. I would see my mother smiling in the choir, and I wanted to know this God that made her so happy. If I had not had that faith in my life, I don't know where I would be right now.

My mother wasn't strong like my aunt. She was just very passive.

I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, can make it. To those of you who have, welcome to life. I celebrate you.

I think we are born into what we're supposed to learn and find out in this life.

The key to life when it gets tough is to keep moving. Just keep moving.
