That's not what I want my children to hear. That's not representative of the country that I want my children to grow up in. And so that actually I found far more upsetting as a mom, as a woman, as an American, and even as my mother's daughter than anything they said about my mom.

I really believe that with a little bit of information, kids can make a big difference.

I am excited to work with NBC News to continue to highlight stories of organizations and individuals who make their communities and our world healthier, more just and more humane.

I am so proud and grateful to be my mom's daughter.

You'd better talk to my dad. My mom's pretty busy.

My parents taught me to approach the world critically, but also to approach it with a sense of responsibility.

I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press. Even though I think you're cute.
