When we look at that jingoism and the sexism and the racism and the homophobia, that's not who we are, and that's not the country that I want my daughter to grow up in.

My most important identity now is as a mother.

Intellectually, I loved my job, but I didn't get any meaning from it.

A tin roof is one of the greatest indicators of prosperity in the developing world.

I unapologetically and unabashedly am deeply biased toward my mother.

My parents and my grandmother inspire me every day and, every day, in my work and personal life.

I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.
