- Styleworks is the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life. When I see the women's reaction when they first turn around and look in the mirror... it fills my spirit.
- My inspiration for styleWorks came from seeing the different changes in welfare laws and my belief that everyone needs to be supported on their journey to more satisfying lives.
- When a woman feels her best, when a woman reaches her full potential, everyone around her profits.
- Courage is a virtue in women. Don't let fear hold you back.
- As a way to highlight the organizations that I am actively involved with, I recently launched the Angel Rock Project. The Angel Rock Project will function as a community of service. It will provide tips and guides to getting involved with non profits and will highlight grassroots organizations that have compelling stories and need assistance. It will also showcase the many endeavors I am involved with, including humanitarian campaigns, television projects, and writing.
