You dont necessarily have to be religious to pray.

I'm incredibly spiritual. There are like tens of thousands of denominations; I don't fit in any one of those denominations comfortably. But I have a very personal relationship with God.

There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.
