An artist and celebrity, a fashion icon and art muse, a wife and a mom, albeit to her stepchildren and pets, Heart plays an important role that helps shape perceptions towards women.

In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, the Queen of Creative Collaborations defined women empowerment in a manner which she also aims to live by.

She said, “[Women empowerment is] being the best version of yourself but not really for yourself, but to inspire other people. And it's the same thing in return. So it's like a domino effect. You don't want to look good and feel good just for yourself but also because you want to inspire others.”

She also gave an advice to her fellow Filipinas, saying, “Be yourself, and the moment you love yourself, you can conquer the world. Really. Just be comfortable about who you are.”
