Women in leadership roles can help restore balance and wholeness to our communities.

Every single person has leadership ability. Some step up and take them. Some don't. My answer was to step up and lead.

People say that crisis changes people and turns ordinary people into wiser or more responsible ones.

One of the things my parents taught me, and I'll always be grateful as a gift, is to not ever let anybody else define me; that for me to define myself. and I think that helped me a lot in assuming a leadership position.

I've run into more discrimination as a woman than as an Indian.

A lot of young girls have looked to their career paths and have said they'd like to be chief. There's been a change in the limits people see.

Look forward. Turn what has been done into a better path.
