Twitter's a great way to tell people across the world what I care about and, hopefully, motivate them to join me in furthering my causes.

Eighty percent of my life is normal like any other mother. I worry about my children, if they're doing all right. I worry that my husband is doing well.

I’ve learned to take things a little more easily, to be a little more forgiving of myself.

I don’t know if I’d put labels on myself, but I do feel that when women are empowered, they have the power to transform society.

We’re programmed to believe that time is the enemy, that it takes away from us or that it diminishes us. I have found that it’s done the opposite to me. Life is in perfect balance. It’s just that our perception of it isn’t.

Look at any country that’s plagued with poverty, disease or violence; the antidote is girls. Girls are the antibodies to many of society’s ills.

Maybe clothes are a form of creative expression for me. An outlet. Because I don’t get to express myself creatively through my official duties.

It isn’t often that the logic behind a policy is so clear. But when it comes to the value of educating girls, the evidence speaks for itself.

Twitter’s a great way to tell people across the world what I care about and, hopefully, motivate them to join me in furthering my causes. It’s also a fantastic medium to hear the ideas and opinions of people I might not otherwise get to meet.

The more time goes on, the closer I am to the ground. I’ve been exposed to so many issues and people living under different pressures. It’s helped me realize that a lot of glamorous things that people prioritize really don’t matter.
