I have always been one to encourage perseverance.

Domestic violence is the front line of the war against women.

You survived the abuse. You’re gonna survive the recovery.

All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.

Don’t judge yourself by what others did to you.

Trauma may happen to you, but it can never define you.

I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.

Confidence and intelligence are always beautiful in a woman.

I don't need easy, I just need possible.

Be the type of woman who does not need other people to validate her.

Strong women don’t have ‘attitudes’, Se have standards.

You are allowed to cry, but never allow yourself to give up.

A weak man can’t love a strong woman. He won’t know what to do with her.

Some women can easily get lost in the fire, but strong women are built from it.

I don’t go by the rule book. I lead from the heart, not the head.

Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention.

Enjoy life, study hard, play hard, be kind to other people, set high standards, and don't be afraid to say 'No.'

Life has said to any strong woman, “you are going to be happy, but first I will make you strong first.

Doubt is a killer. You just have to know who you are and what you stand for.
