Carli Lloyd
“You have to go through hard things, and you have to make a choice. You have to choose love again. You have to choose joy again. I’ve seen it. I’ve seen what love does. It’s the thread that connects us all.”
“I strive to find light in the dark. So in sharing someone’s stories, I take serious care to take something that may have been the most horrible, defining moment in someone’s life and make it more than just a cautionary tale.”

“I felt like a celebrity.”

Jessica Hawk
“No matter if you’re winning or losing, someone is inspired by those wins or losses. Someone is looking up to you and understanding that your journey is a place to go and your life matters. Being reminded that I’m a leader puts another fire under me to keep going.”
Tatiana Mitchell
“Being around different people, asking questions, being curious and a lifelong learner is so important.”
