I never once doubted that my parents cared about my thoughts and my ideas. And I always, always knew how deeply they loved me. That feeling of being valued and loved, that's what my mom wants for every child.
People who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and in our world have always inspired me.
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 always knew I was the center of my parents.
We proved we could be safe and secure at home, and still have more allies and friends in the world.
I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child, and hopefully children, as my mom was to me.
My parents have been incredibly supportive from perhaps the first real independent decision I made to become a vegetarian at 11, which was certainly not consistent with their diet at the time.
We have to do whatever we can to ensure that no child dies of diarrhea.
I loved working on Wall Street. I loved the meritocracy of it and the camaraderie of the trading floor.
And every day that I spend as Charlotte and Aiden's mother, I think about my own mother, my wonderful, thoughtful, hilarious mother.
My earliest memory is my mom picking me up after I had fallen down, giving me a big hug and reading me 'Goodnight Moon.' From that moment, to this one, every single memory I have of my mom is that regardless of what was happening in her life, she was always, always there for me.
I lead a multi-faith life.
I love my parents, and I want my mother to be president.
When I was born, my father was governor of Arkansas.
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.
Even during my father's 1984 gubernatorial campaign, it was, 'Do you want to grow up and be governor one day?' 'No. I am four.'
