My Parents Were Very Firm About Me

I Was Working Full Time And Going To School At Night And On The Weekends. It Was Just Crazy. At One Point A Month Had Gone By, And Marc - My Then Boyfriend, Now Husband, And I Hadn't Gone Out On A Date. I Was Like, I Don't Want To Be This Person. I Want To Be A Person Who Cares Where She's Investing Her Time And Energy. And I Want To Be A Good Wife, Daughter, And Friend.

I Am Excited To Work With Nbc News To Continue To Highlight Stories Of Organizations And Individuals Who Make Their Communities And Our World Healthier, More Just And More Humane.

I Am So Proud And Grateful To Be My Mom's Daughter.

I'm Definitely Voting For First Gentleman.

When I First Held My Daughter, Right After She Was Born, I Felt Like It Was The Moment I'd Been Waiting My Whole Life For, And It Just Felt Even More Miraculous Than I Ever Could Have Imagined.
