I Grew Up With An Absolutely Horrible, Debilitating Stutter, And It Was What Caused Me To Retreat Into Myself And Caused Me To Have Very Few Friends And Not Want To Socialize, And It Made Me Absolutely Terrified Of Giving Reports In School.

My Role As The Chair Of The Fashion Department At Parsons Put Me Face To Face With All The Big Designers, Retailers, And Editors.

My Best Life Advice:take The High Road.no Matter How Much Stress, Or Strain, Or Consternation You Are Facing, Take The High Road.you Will Never Regret It.

I'm Constantly Reminding Myself That The World Owes Us Nothing. We Have To Make Our Way And We Have To Work Hard, Persevere And Make Our Own Way In The World Because The World Isn't Waiting For Us, So Let's Let The World Know We Are Here.
