However, when I started to focus on other people and how I could help them, I realized that the universe was clamoring to help me achieve what it was that I wanted to do. I always knew I wanted to work for myself, but I was so afraid that I would fail or that I wouldn’t be able to get anything done if left to myself that I held myself back. I became a Guardian-ad-litem, which is a volunteer advocate for abused or neglected children, and I spent a year working for free to raise money for a documentary film whose cause I believe in. I started my own foundation that focuses on raising awareness about child trafficking in the United States.

This past February, as I pulled up to Oprah Winfrey's home on Maui so she could film a show with my dad, I realized I was about to have one of my long term wishes fulfilled. Meeting the most influential woman of the 20th century has been a dream of mine since I first started watching her show in my early teens.
