You know, there's a lot of activism that doesn't deal with empowerment, and you have to empower yourself in order to be relevant to any type of struggle.

My work in government has flowed from the fundamental idea of personal empowerment. It's about giving people the tools they need to pave their own way.

Empowerment is not about doing the same thing the same way in the same environment. It's about building the man and the woman and doing so with a view to creating better citizens and, by extension, better patriots in this society of ours.

I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.

I've been a staunch advocate of women's empowerment, and I've worked hard throughout my career to advance the cause. It is heartening to see that gender equality is really becoming more of a reality. There is still much more to be done, and I'm confident that, by working together, we can empower women worldwide.

If you hear me out, I believe you'll discover that what motivates me more than any other issue is the defense of everyone's rights.

The price of self-empowerment is what I call it. Somebody who thinks outside the box.

I want to work on respecting individuals' dignity. Equal rights, that's where my heart is. That means equal rights and benefits, and that's what we need.

Ultimately what I end up writing about is helplessness and the flipside of that, empowerment.
