It is a myth that rape is an inevitable part of conflict… There is nothing inevitable about it. It is a weapon of war aimed at civilians. It has nothing to do with sex — everything to do with power. It is done to torture and humiliate innocent people and often very young children.
“Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are. And figure out what you personally love. And like go after it with everything you've got no matter how much it takes.”
“The great thing about having a bunch of kids is that they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop,”
“It's not going to accomplish anything to cry.”
“If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you’re solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion.”
“Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.”
“It is a myth that rape is an inevitable part of conflict… There is nothing inevitable about it. It is a weapon of war aimed at civilians. It has nothing to do with sex — everything to do with power. It is done to torture and humiliate innocent people and often very young children.”

“Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.”
“If you don’t get out of the box you’ve been raised in, you won’t understand how much bigger the world is.”
“On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.”
