It&amp;#x27;s so funny what can happen once you decide to not listen to them.&amp;quot; &amp;amp;#8212;Lea Michele, whose mom told her, &amp;quot;Barbra Streisand never got a nose job and neither are you.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Don&amp;#x27;t let anyone tell you that you don&amp;#x27;t have the power to do anything you that you want &amp;amp;#133; Don&amp;#x27;t allow anyone to let you think that your light cannot shine.&amp;quot; &amp;amp;#8212;Withelma &amp;quot;T&amp;quot; Ortiz-Macey, who became a children&amp;#x27;s advocate after surviving sex trafficking as a 10-year-old &amp;quot;You really can do whatever it is you want to do.
