Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: I lost my dad this past October, and his passing really made me look at what I\u2019m up to right now, right this minute while I\u2019m still here. He dedicated his life to education and to causes like anti-apartheid in Africa. He lived the example that progressive global shifts begin within each of us individually. As I grow up I want to make sure I water seeds that blossom into significant and sustainable beauty.<\/p>\n

Q: What did your child self want to be when you grew up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: A Fairy Princess. At my Montessori school I dressed up in Fairy Princess costumes and sang at the top of my lungs on the swing set while the rest of my class was inside learning sensible math skills. I guess in a way that\u2019s what I\u2019m still doing\u2026<\/p>\n
