A typical day in my life includes…
dropping kids off at schools, business calls, choosing new patterns and designs for my next collections, making new connections, finding new places to sell, running errands, and taking kids to activities.

If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
to give all kids an opportunity to be better, to grow up in a better and safer place. Nothing makes me sadder than to see kids around the world struggling.
