I'm A Big Believer In Listening To

For Most Of My Life, I Deliberately Led A Private Life In The Public Eye.

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 Believe That Engaging In The Political Process Is Part Of Being A Good Person.

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.

My Most Important Identity Now Is As A Mother.
