Over the years I've become more confident in people's ability to recognize a good thing.

Policies that support families aren't political issues. They're personal. They're the causes I carry with me every single day.

My ability to get through my day greatly depends on the relationship that I have with other women...We have to be able to champion other women. We have to root for each other's successes and not delight in one another's failures.

I always want to be on the cusp of being in the best shape that I can be.

I think in the end, I want to make sure that my kids come out of this thing on the other end in one piece. But I also know that that's how the rest of the country feels as well, so for that I am grateful.

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

It's not about government telling people what to do. It's about each of us, in our own families, in our own communities, standing up and demanding more for our kids. And it's about companies like Walmart answering that call.
