“Women generally don't help other women in business out, and I think it's a travesty. And I understand why it happens. We're all constantly being pushed to the bottom, and we're worried that if we use our one magic bullet to help a friend, we won't have that favor to call in when we need it for ourselves. But by not helping one another, we're actually hurting one another, and ultimately ourselves. There is room for more than one woman to be successful. There is room for all of us at the top. We just need to stick together. We need to be one another's allies. We need to lift one another up.”

Besides, most people are not going to be rude to you for introducing yourself, and if they are, screw them. You don’t want them in your life anyway. Act the way you’d like your friends to act, and I promise they will come to you and you will find the love you deserve.”
