“We underestimate the power of words. My mom
had a simple conversation [with me]. It took no
more than 15-20 minutes. Those words followed
me for 18 years. It’s important to me as a mother
and as a woman to pass on that legacy of conversation with our daughters. It’s good to train
our daughters on etiquette and how to live in the
world. Its also important to teach them how to
take care of their bodies inside and out.”
