What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center. ↗

I've had loss in my life, and I like to think my mother's energy lives on in some faintly Buddhist way. I do find some comfort there. ↗

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ↗

Everyone has their dates. For me, it's 1991. I can place every memory of my life either before or after this date. It's the year I became an adult. My mother died, and I created my company shortly thereafter. I definitely would not have done it if she hadn't passed away. ↗
