We proved we could be safe and secure at home, and still have more allies and friends in the world.
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.
I just hope I will be as good a mom to my child and, hopefully, children as my mom was to me,
I certainly believe that all of my friends should have the right, as Marc and I did, to marry their best friend. I certainly expect my straight friends to help us achieve that for all New Yorkers, for all Americans, and for the children that, at least, Marc and I hope to have someday.
My parents have been incredibly supportive from perhaps the first real independent decision I made to become a vegetarian at 11, which was certainly not consistent with their diet at the time.
Service is an opportunity for young women to really empower themselves.
I've tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents. I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn't. That wasn't the metric of success I wanted in my life. I've talked about this to my friends who are doctors and whose parents are doctors, or who are lawyers and their parents are lawyers. It's a funny thing to realize I feel called to this work both as a daughter and also as someone who believes I have contributions to make.
For all the tornadoes Arkansas has, and the ones that have hit around Little Rock, we never had one just basically come down Main Street,
I was a vegetarian for 10 years and a pescetarian for eight. Then I woke up one day when I was 29 and craved red meat. I'm a big believer in listening to my body's cravings.
I certainly feel a strong call of public service.
I hadn't planned on or expected to have a public dimension in my life.
Service is a deceptively profound way to prove not only what you can do for the world, but what you can tell the world to expect from you and your ambitions.
I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives.
I think that there are more opportunities for young women in America than there are in Tanzania. But I also think there are many of the same problems.
