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

I'm a big believer in listening to my body's cravings.

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

My parents always asked me what I thought, listened to my opinions, articulated their diagnoses of our challenges at home and abroad, and shared their ideas for how to build a more equal and prosperous country. I always felt part of their call to serve and part of my father's journey.

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.

Caricatured as navel-gazers, Millennials are said to live for their 'likes' and status updates. But the young people I know often leverage social media in selfless ways.

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