People have accepted the media's idea of what feminism is, but that doesn't mean that it's right or true or real. Feminism is not monolithic. Within feminism, there is an array of opinions.

Remember our heritage is our power; we can know ourselves and our capacities by seeing that other women have been strong.

Like health care, education is something worth spending on and worth investing in, but we're spending more and getting less.

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

Success is a process that never ends.

Dream big, dare greatly and shine brightly.

We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.
