I have a boyfriend and a dog, and I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up.

I'm always struck by how innately curious kids are about the world around us and how engaged and sensitive they are to what is happening .. and how many kids do want to be engaged and do what to make a difference.

I can't imagine anything that would make the world look more different than if women and girls were unequivocally enfranchised.

We proved we could be safe and secure at home, and still have more allies and friends in the world.

When I first held my daughter, right after she was born, I felt like it was the moment I'd been waiting my whole life for, and it just felt even more miraculous than I ever could have imagined.

I had seen people who had lost everything and everyone they loved to war, famine, and natural disasters.

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.
