The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.
I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.
Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.
Poetry puts starch in your backbone so you can stand, so you can compose your life.
The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.
What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.
Your silence will not protect you.
In this life, you have to be your own hero.
It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent.
Hard days are the best because that’s when champions are made.
If we set our minds to it, we can achieve anything.
No one can take away your pain, so don’t let anyone take away your happiness.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
Power is not given to you. You have to take it.
I would rather be a rebel than a slave.
Strong and healthy is the new sexy.
Fortune does favor the bold and you’ll never know what you’re capable of if you don’t try.
I tell you what freedom is to me: no fear.
I feel safe in the midst of my enemies, for the truth is all powerful and will prevail.
Every great dream begins with a dreamer.
