The most important career decision you'll make is who your life partner is.

We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.

If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on.

Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap.

So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren't afraid? And then go do it.

Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.

Next time you're about to call your daughter bossy, take a deep breath and say, 'My daughter has executive leadership skills.'

In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.

We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.

I was a kid who liked art and theater and dance and music, but if you lived in Harlem, high culture was somewhere else, and it wasn't black.

If you have ever been to couples therapy it's really, really challenging.

I tried to be diplomatic, but mostly I just lied a lot.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but you have to know you're going to make mistakes. It's how you respond to those mistakes that counts.

A wise man is out of the reach of fortune.
