Astronaut Quote by Kay Cannon

“Tell your daughters and their daughters that if they want to be a firewoman, they can be a firewoman. If they want to be an astronaut, they can be an astronaut. If they want to run their own business or run for president, they can do whatever they put their mind to.” quote by Kay Cannon — Download Open image
