Charlotte McKinney

I can feel so bad about myself, especially if I start to pay attention to the kinds of stupid comments around the Internet.

I've had such a hard time with dyslexia my whole life. When I was a child, I didn't learn to read until I was a lot older, and I was behind in my classes; it was such a challenge.

I wanted to be something and prove to girls in high school, and to my mum and dad, that I could be really... spectacular.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.

I have a lot of kids in my district who haven't been to the beach, much less Washington, D.C., and that's 20 miles away.
