I know I'm late, but I've finally joined Facebook!

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.

Fried chicken is my husband's favorite food.

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

I've always been incredibly proud of both of my parents and proud of the work I had done privately as a person, professionally and academically.

It just seems so fundamental to me. I'm able to marry the person I wanted to marry. That's the fundamental human imperative. Those of us who have been lucky enough should expand these rights to others.

I hope that young people will also look to politics as a vehicle to not only have their voices heard, but actually to be the change makers that they want to see. They are disaffected, understandably, but I hope that young people will not only turn out to vote but also run for office.
