I have had the honor of interviewing @CecileRichards, the former president of Planned Parenthood and co-founder of Supermajority, many times over the years: for my book, for several articles and outlets, as well as lifted up her words on my podcast. I greatly admire her and was so happy to see that she was so rightfully honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House yesterday, the nation`s highest civilian honor.

Earlier this year, Cecile, who is the daughter of the late Texas Governor Ann Richards, revealed she was battling brain cancer. Yet she has remained an active and vocal advocate for reproductive freedom, a cause that has been under siege ever since Roe v Wade was overturned, and she recently co-founded the new platform @abortioninamerica, "a new national effort to support storytelling that shows the impact of abortion bans on people`s lives." I feel so grateful for Cecile`s lifetime of advocacy, leadership and her important work and message, now more than ever.

This quote is from one of my many interviews with Cecile. See link in bio for more of her insights and wisdom.

Like many of you, I am experiencing so many difficult emotions – not only that once again we failed to elect our first woman President, but also what the overall election outcome says about the sexism, racism, fear and division that are deeply rooted in our country.

As we start to think about how we go forward from here, I am reminded of one of the most important lessons I learned from Dr. Maya Angelou when she told me, “We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated.” We have been knocked down, but when we are ready, we can use that energy – and our deep solidarity – as our collective strength to rise. And I know that we will.

The results of the election made it clear that we have much work to do, but together we are a powerful force. Sending love to you all.

I enjoyed interviewing Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett who had so many important insights to share about the significance of electing a multiracial woman president, the racism and sexism women of color candidates face, advice for women interested in running for office, the Black women leaders who paved the way to this moment, and more. She told me, "If we can finally break this glass ceiling, I think that it is just going to send ripples throughout the world about what it is that women can accomplish and what it is that women can do."

In my latest @ms_magazine interview, @votolatino`s CEO Maria Teresa Kumar shared so many important insights about the election, including her response to the racism on display at the recent Trump rally, what it would mean to elect Kamala Harris as our first women president, what is driving the Latino vote, and more.

"If we believe in a democracy and our democracy is powered by the vote, and our vote is a multicultural one, then our issues must be established by a body of leaders that reflect us.” Link in bio.

In my latest Forbes interview, Governor Gretchen Whitmer—who is one of only 12 women governors in the US—talks about the upcoming election, what women bring to politics, her philosophies on leadership and overcoming adversity, her advice for young women, her book ‘True Gretch’ and more. On being a leader, she told me, “I talk a lot about grit, perseverance, rolling with the punches, but I think the number one thing has to be the ability to just ask people what they need and listen.” Link in bio.
