I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as 'us' and 'them' - he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above... he knows that we all love our country... and he's always ready to listen to good ideas... he's always looking for the very best in everyone he meets.

My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before.

If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test, I wouldn't be here. I guarantee you that.

I think any family would, any mother would their children.

Another suggestion is to cook a meal, maybe not every night, but a couple more times a week than you usually do. That way you have leftovers, and you take your lunch to work.

I try to be thoughtful about spreading the wealth: young designers. Mixing things up is important to me.

You work hard for what you want in life.
