Looking back on my childhood, I am blessed to be loved and influenced by so many strong women.

This is what I learned:

• Behind every successful woman is herself.

• The most dangerous animal in the world is a silent smiling woman.

• A woman is unstoppable after she realizes she deserves better.

• A woman who knows what she brings to the table is not afraid to eat alone.

• A strong woman looks a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink.

• A happy woman is a beautiful woman.
