The universe is listening. So, I always ask my interviewees this question and it would be remiss of me if I didn't ask, what's your favorite quote? "I think it was Robert F. Kennedy who said, "Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly." I have it written on my desk and on my billboard. It reminds me to keep stretching and growing, to go beyond my comfort zone, and to fearlessly push the envelop. Whitney, you are amazing   —  so poised, articulate, smart. I'm inspired by you and I know many others can relate or otherwise use your journey, your story and the tips you've outlined here to get over or deal with their own challenges. I hope that one day you will find peace and congruence with your humble beginnings/background and the person you've become/achievements. To borrow from Lupita N'yongo remember, "No matter where you come from your dreams are valid."   Thank you!
