Female inspiration and why? The woman who has been the most inspirational and influential in my life has been my mother. She helped me figure out the answer to the difficult questions in life: What do I want to do? Who do I want to be? What do I want out of life? Whenever the answers to these questions elude me, I go back to one of her many lessons: "There are so many worthy causes in the world. Find the one that makes you mad, makes you angry at the injustice of it. That's your calling, your cause. Go fix it."
