I'm Good At Picking Friends.

People Think That You Have To Do Something Huge, Like Go To Africa And Build A School, But You Can Make A Small Change In A Day. If You Change Wednesday, Then You Change Thursday. Pretty Soon It's A Week, Then A Month, Then A Year. It's Bite-size, As Opposed To Feeling Like You Have To Turn Your Life Inside Out To Make Changes.

I Try To Live In A Little Bit Of My Own Joy And Not Let People Steal It Or Take It.

I Can't Remember A Time When My Mom Didn't Work. She Has Forever Been On The Move: A Go-getter. When My Brother Adel And I Had A Paper Route As Kids, My Mom Would Get Up Before Us At The Crack Of Dawn To Drop Off The Washington Post At Different Corners.

I Love Music. For Me, Music Is Morning Coffee. It's Mood Medicine. It's Pure Magic. A Good Song Is Like A Good Meal-i Just Want To Inhale It And Then Share A Bite With Someone Else.

I Think Credibility Is One Of Those Things That, If You Work Hard And You Get It By Standing In The Trenches And Traveling The World, People Realize You're Multi-faceted. Part Of Me Is A Serious Journalist And I Loved All Of The Stuff I Did. And Then There's Another Part Of Me That Likes To Let Go And I Think A Lot Of Women Can Relate To That.
