QUOTES

If all we hear is violence, all we will know is violence — personally or globally. If we hear stories of people rising above hatred to build a better life, we can all find the courage to create peace.

The mainstream news leaves people cynical at a very young age. I want to balance the bad news by being present with people and listening to them speak. And I want to be part of the solution.

Women’s voices help balance out the male energy. Until we do that, we are not going to have peace in the world.
