Quote of the Day

In the Clinton White House, I felt privileged to be allowed "in the room."  I had many generous mentors there, men and women both, who taught me I belonged there and my voice mattered.  I learned to speak up.  It was in the Obama White House where I appreciated that it wasn't just my privilege but my responsibility to speak in whatever room I was in.  You aren't doing your job if you don't.
