"They say the two most important days in a person's life were the day you were born and the day you discover why you were born."
"Do not live someone else's life and someone else's idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is you. Womanhood is everything that's inside of you."
"When your passion and drive are bigger than your fears, you just dive."
"There's not one woman in America who does not care about her hair, but we give it way too much value. We deprive ourselves of things, we use it to destroy each other, we'll look at a child and judge a mother and her sense of motherhood by the way the child's hair looks. I am not going to traumatize my child about her hair. I want her to love her hair."
"When you pray, God puts people in your life to lead you when you cannot lead yourself."
