What’s your “why?” My "why" is my three children, and the children of this country. As a parent, I think a lot about whether I'm doing everything I can to help my children reach their full potential. That's the fundamental question we face as a society: Are we collectively doing everything we can to help all our children reach their full potential? The hard truth is we currently are not. But hunger is a solvable problem and it's a privilege to be surrounded by people who share my commitment to building a brighter future for our kids.
My idea of fun is: My husband is the chef of our house! On special occasions and each New Year’s Eve, he cooks a multi-course dinner. These dinner parties are some of my favorite memories. On less formal nights, I love an impromptu dance party with my kids in our kitchen.
