When you are balanced and when you listen and attend to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit, your natural beauty comes out.
I enjoy the celebration of my birthday as much as anyone else does, but I always remember to start my day thanking my mom because she did most of the work the day I came into the world, not to mention all she has done throughout my life that has contributed so much to the woman I am today.
I sincerely feel that beauty largely comes from within.
You know, all these sentiments about beauty coming from within, they've always resonated when I've read them, but it takes a bit of living to truly appreciate them. To realise we are so much more than our experiences, that we are who we are because of the lessons we've learnt, now that's what true 'beauty' is for me.

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.
I have healed myself through sharing my birth story as well as others' stories in my film 'No Woman, No Cry,' and in various writings and talks about maternal health.
Imagine the possibilities if humanity banded together before disaster struck to relieve everyday suffering worldwide.
I have my family, which is my main thing; the organization; a modeling career. All these things are important, but family definitely comes first.
I think mothers are so important. I mean, it seems like such an obvious thing to say, but I think we don't really express that enough, apart from one day a year. So I think we need to come together and celebrate us every day.
