She also has a message for women, "To my ladies out there, please note there is nowhere hard work, the right attitude and courage, discipline, willingness for constant self-improvement and of course faithfulness to God will not get you. Not even the proverbial Big table with the big boys or cracking glass ceiling should be out of reach for you.  The saying that believe in yourself and God, never ever gets old."
