Pls read, it's worth it! If this isn't inspiring, I don't know what is!

Here's an interview of Hillary Clinton by a 11 year old black girl, who has created a book list of 4000+ books that are good for black girls! And she interviewed HRC (by email I guess). Both the little girl and HRC are beyond inspiring. Forwarding this to my 10 and 14 year old daughters!

Oh, Marley, I have a terrible story to tell you. It was my first week of high school, and I was excited and nervous. At that time, I wore my hair in a ponytail or held back with a headband. When I saw the older girls with their hair in little bobs, I thought that looked so much more grown-up, so I begged my mother to take me to a real beauty parlor to get my hair cut. Our neighbor recommended a man who had a small shop behind a grocery store, and he got distracted talking to my mother and hacked off a huge chunk of my hair! I was mortified. So I tried to fix it by wearing a fake ponytail to school. And then a friend of mine accidentally pulled it off in front of everyone. Which of course was a nightmare. At the time, I felt like it might have been the worst moment of my life.

Now that I'm older, I have a little more perspective. But I certainly remember what it was like to be your age and be so worried about what people thought of me. And I'm glad I didn't know back then that I had a whole life ahead of me of people commenting on my hair!

3. That made me teary eyed

and not much does! The interview with Betsy, especially.

Add also that the Don the Con could do no such thing as respond to a little girl's questions. Or keep a real friend for so long.
