The Light Podcast: Ep. 1

I had so much fun talking to my good friend @HodaKotb for the first episode of The Light Podcast, from @HGMedia.

We talked about parenting, overcoming self-doubt, and the importance of finding your light.

Fired Up. Ready To Go

“Fired up. Ready to go!” Edith Childs understands the power of a single voice, and she used those words to light up a room during my campaign stop in Greenwood, SC back in 2007.

I recently caught up with Edith, who just retired after 24 years in public service. Take a look: pic.twitter.com/IhW6pqnAQR

Iowa Caucuses

15 years ago today, our campaign won the Iowa caucuses. I’ll always be grateful to the people who organized across the state, and built the relationships that made it all possible.

I recently sat down with six organizers to talk about that time and what they’ve been up to since. pic.twitter.com/2fghTvMdLn

2,000 Letters

“I’m trying to push us to think about solutions that will actually unite us and get us focused on the real problem. That’s what I mean when I say ‘go high.’” – @MichelleObama

Mrs. @MichelleObama has received nearly 2,000 letters every month — which are part of the inspiration behind her new book “The Light We Carry.”

Take a look at the story of one woman who wrote a letter in 2020 and found comfort in Mrs. Obama’s words during a difficult time. pic.twitter.com/AAFfd76or5
