I'm proud to call myself a feminist and am proud to say I have two young boys who are self-proclaimed feminists as well.

What I have learned the most is that women have always been integral to shaping America; they just haven't been recognized across all fields.

Those who forgets their friends to follow those of a higher status are truly snobs.

Every day you try to get better.
