Quotes

"Don't be embarrassed of who you are, they're gonna judge you no matter what you do."¹

"I realized that it's okay to take risks and make choices based on your heart as opposed to your pocket book or anybody else's opinion. I knew I could go after what I wanted most. If I tried and failed--big deal. You just keep going."²
