The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling.

In every single culture I encountered, there were always women who defied cultural norms to do what they believed was right for them. This phenomenon has never been related to how rich, poor, successful or not successful the woman may be.

I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.

I second-guess and overthink and rethink every single thing that I do.

Leadership is about encouraging women to break their silence and tell their stories to the world.

By accepting what the external structures have told us we need to do, we have given the power of our realities and ourselves to others. It is time to tell a new story for women, and that can only start with women.
