"One of my core values as a mother, is to teach my children about the privilege we imbue based on our social, economic, cultural position; where we live, what we look like, etc. That perspective is key in how I shape their consideration for others in far less fortunate conditions. Additionally, I advocate that their voices, no matter how young, can start making a difference and effecting change for the good. My actions and participation in organizations like Women For Women International helps directly influence and inspire them that they can make lasting change in people’s lives."
