But I\u2019ve never believed that my success had to cause someone else\u2019s theirs. If I know something, I should teach it. If I open the door, I should hold it. If I have a platform, I should make room for another voice,\u201d she added. \u201cThank you, because I believe greatness isn\u2019t measured by how many people stand beneath you.
