The bottom line for me is that we must socialise children in the topics of saving and investing from a very young age globally. If you understand how money can work for and against you, you can make better decisions. Financial literacy is not about wealth but about understanding money regardless of the amount. It’s about how you treat it and how you maximise opportunities.

It would be lovely to think that success was a result of my being extraordinary, but the answer is far more boring. I worked hard. Really hard.

If you are a person of colour, it’s hard to explain what we deal with on a day-to-day basis. I’ve been apologizing for being a woman. I’ve been apologizing for being black. That stops today.

The first step to solving any problem is to not hide from it, and the first step to any form of action is awareness.

I think that’s life in general. It’s the way it is when we pick stocks, all of them don’t always work, so I guess I come to the view failure naturally.

If I didn’t know how to do something, I’d ask to learn. Most people don’t want to admit they don’t know something. I do. All the time.

My mom would say, ‘You have a birthday party to go to? Well, you can’t go unless you’ve planned how to get there and how to get a present.’ She wouldn’t do that for me. I found my own orthodontist, my own high school. I set up interviews and did college trips. Despite her incredible concern and caring, my mom didn’t have the capacity for that. It was outside her experience, and she knew I was on top of it.

It’s not big moments but little ones that count. For example, that hiring decision, who you include in a meeting, who you include on a committee, that promotion decision and that decision about what kind of environment you want your children in.

We need to be audacious enough to not leave anything on the table.

Hard work plus bravery equals success. Imagination plus bravery equal creativity. Love plus bravery equal happiness.

It took me a long time to be as brave in my personal life as I was in my professional life to be brave in love means opening yourself up to the possibility of heartbreak.

I’m not angry. I don’t have a grudge. I don’t feel like I have a cross that I’m bearing. My mother said to me, ‘Life is not fair’ and sometimes it’s not.
