NOTABLE QUOTES:

"The greatest leaders we've ever seen are developed. They weren't born that way. People had to invest in them and they had to invest in themselves in order to become better leaders." 

"I know that leadership is within me, but I also realize that growing up, we weren't really taught to go and seek other leadership skills, other leadership opportunities. But that's something that I've developed now, the importance of going out and educating yourself, learning a little bit more…."

"Why would you give up? Martin Luther King didn't give up. Obama didn't give up. Oprah didn't give up. I've met a couple of these people and they're human. They didn't give up. They had a dream, they had a vision and they kept going." 

"Just because you're nominated doesn't mean you're going to win. But being nominated will get you recognized."

"Relationships are not about what they can do for me. It's about how we connect with one another."
