We can't end poverty if we fail to save the lives of our world's mothers. - Liya Kebede

If nothing else, I want women to understand that they are powerful. If you look back at history, in almost every big moment, in every leap forward, you find ordinary women at the core. We have more ability to make changes in the world than we can imagine if we have the courage to try.

I can contribute, be valuable and grow in many ways, since my interests are so varied. That is very satisfying.

I think we don't give each other or ourselves credit. We're all inspiring each other every day.
