.@jessicajackley: U don't have to dive into the harshest environments to make a difference. Be gentle on yourself & focus on positives. #AMA

.@jessicajackley: "Do all you can to hear the voices of people who aren't given the kind of platform they deserve." #AMA
.@jessicajackley: "Great things are possible for every individual if they are just given the chance to reach their potential." #AMA
.@jessicajackley: @Kiva proves that there is opportunity for everyone in the world to thrive. #entrepreneurship #AMA
.@jessicajackley: "I feel moved when I hear anecdotes from lenders whose experience w/@Kiva changed how they think re: poverty & potential."
