You have the ability to be your own cheerleader or your own worst enemy. Be careful with how you speak to yourself. Your words matter, especially when you say them to yourself. Stop only rooting for others, & start rooting for yourself! #inspiredaging

Q: You mentioned diversity and the importance of diversity. What is the best strategy for female diversity? Quotas?
