We have the power to be who we inspire to be. So many women and men have paved the way making sacrifices for young people like you and me. I AM: was written to inspire and empower girls to reach their goals with confidence; knowing and believing they are everything they inspire to be and they can grow up to be just like the women who didn’t let anything or anyone stop them. I hope this book inspires you to keep going, even though so many people tell us what we can’t be. Because I AM: EVERYTHING THEY SAID I COULDN’T BE AND SO ARE YOU!
