The best advice my mother gave me was “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent,” an Eleanor Roosevelt quotation that my mom enlarged, hung in my bedroom and reiterated during my impressionable adolescent years. At an early age, this advice not only enforced that only I held the power to dictate how others treated me, but also instilled an inner strength and self-confidence in me, especially as a woman. My mom’s insight transcended time and life experiences as to this day, it serves as a constant reminder that I hold the reins to my life.
