She is funny and passionate and fierce. She does not settle. She reminds me of President Obama in all the best ways. I can't wait to read her new book and then to support her campaign.
Here were some of my highlights:
- She calls herself a "joyful warrior"
- She focuses on the importance of being in the room where it happens
- She quotes James Baldwin as her inspiration for her belief that "the time is always now"
- "People say 'it's going to be difficult' as though we're afraid of hard work."
- "The strongest politics are coalition politics"
- She said her mother, as she died, "knew her fighting spirit was alive and well inside of me."
- "Hold on to your friends. None of us achieves what we do without them."
