My message to women: Do what makes you feel good, because there'll always be someone who thinks you should do it differently. Whether your choices are hits or misses, at least they're your own.

---

Treat people with dignity and respect.

---

We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.

---

Success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives.

---

Do not die in the history of your past hurts and past experiences, but live in the now and future of your destiny.

---

We have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.

---

No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you are beautiful.

---

Value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.

---

I admit it: I am louder than the average human being and have no fear of speaking my mind. These traits don't come from the color of my skin but from an unwavering belief in my own intelligence.

---

When you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.
