I don't want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties.

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

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.

No change can come if those who are impacted the most by discrimination are not willing to stand up for themselves.

As women, we must speak out, speak up, say no to our inheritance of loss and yes to a future of women-led dialogue about women's rights and value.

Since I was 15 years old I have dedicated my life to serving women.

Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.

There's a lot of projection that if you're in service then you shouldn't look good. I'm no different from anybody else. I like clothes, I like shoes, I like to go have nice dinners, I like to dance. Just because I've dedicated myself to serving women, why do you think I need to sacrifice myself?

Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff without knowing where you will land.

Every woman must own her story; otherwise we are all part of the silence.
