I was working full-time and going to school at night and on the weekends. It was just crazy.

That's who my mom is. She's a listener and a doer. She's a woman driven by compassion, by faith, by a fierce sense of justice and a heart full of love. So, this November, I'm voting for a woman who is my role model, as a mother, and as an advocate. A woman who has spent her entire life fighting for families and children.
-
We proved we could be safe and secure at home, and still have more allies and friends in the world.
-
I hope that my children will someday be as proud of me as I am of my mom. I am so grateful to be her daughter. I'm so grateful that she is Charlotte's and Aiden's grandmother. She makes me proud every single day.

Running is the one part of my life in which I fundamentally feel like the observer instead of the observed.
-
Every day at some point I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling.

Millennials are often portrayed as apathetic, disinterested, tuned out and selfish. None of those adjectives describe the Millennials I've been privileged to meet and work with.

My parents and my grandmother inspire me every day and, every day, in my work and personal life.

Through their 'Making a Difference' franchise, 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 hope telling stories though 'Making a Difference' - as in my academic work and nonprofit work - will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.'
-
Service is an opportunity for young women to really empower themselves.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.
-
Caricatured as navel-gazers, Millennials are said to live for their 'likes' and status updates. But the young people I know often leverage social media in selfless ways.
-
I love living in New York.
-
We need Hollywood to make movies and television shows about sexy female engineers.
-
I have a boyfriend and a dog, and I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up.
-
It's a widely-held belief that Millennials are obsessed with money. And it's also wildly true. Just don't mistake it for a fixation with getting rich.

Running is my prophylactic stress relief for the day. Or the segue so that I can go home and be with my husband in a kind of clearheaded way.

A tin roof is one of the greatest indicators of prosperity in the developing world.

My mother has often said that the issue of women is the unfinished business of the 21st century. That is certainly true. But so, too, are the issues of LGBTQ rights the unfinished business of the 21st century.

I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.

My grandmother, who passed away at the beginning of November, had a core adage in her life that 'life is not about what happens to you but about what you do with what happens to you.' She recently had been cajoling me and challenging me to do more with my life. To lead more of a purposefully public life.
