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

What inspires me most are people who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and around the world.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.

Thinking about the world writ large, I am more optimistic than not that we will tackle our most pressing challenges, whether poverty or equality for women and girls or climate change; but I also know we'll only tackle them if people are really informed about the challenge and what's proven to work.

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

As a mom, what I found so disturbing were the things that were being said on a national stage - I mean, literally on the stage and off the stage, around the convention about women, about minorities, about Muslims, about immigrants.

Celebrate those who have the courage to be second.
