I never understand why people have children and then insist on living as though nothing has shifted.
Every year, more than 1 million children are left motherless and vulnerable because of maternal deaths, and children who have lost their mothers are up to 10 times more likely to die prematurely than those who have not.
I'm not an everyday fragrance person usually. I wouldn't put fragrance on before dropping off my kids or going to the gym.
I have healed myself through sharing my birth story as well as others' stories in my film 'No Woman, No Cry,' and in various writings and talks about maternal health.
I think mothers are so important. I mean, it seems like such an obvious thing to say, but I think we don't really express that enough, apart from one day a year. So I think we need to come together and celebrate us every day.
I didn't know anything about running gear when I started out, but after trying a few shoe brands, I've discovered that Brooks are my preferred shoes.
Everybody is so anti-aging, but I don't want to look younger than I am. Our face is a map of our life; the more that's there, the better.
One thing that has become abundantly clear to me as I have advocated for the health and well-being of girls and women over the years is the innate power we each have within us to establish deep connection with one another and heal ourselves simply by sharing our stories.
