My message to women: Do what makes you feel good, because there'll always be someone who thinks you should do it differently. Whether your choices are hits or misses, at least they're your own.

---

When women and girls rise, their communities and their countries rise with them

---

Always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody says distract you from your goals.

---

Value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.

---

You can't make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.

---

Walk away from 'friendships' that make you feel small and insecure, and seek out people who inspire you and support you

---

Find people who will make you better.

---

Treat people with dignity and respect.

---

I was too worried about the grades and I should have been more worried about learning.

---

We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.
