As a journalist, I've had the opportunity to meet with mothers around the world who are facing tough challenges in war zones and remote areas without access to medical care for themselves and their children. This is unacceptable. Every mother and every child deserve to live a happy and healthy life no matter where they live.
As a mother, I often think about the world I want my children to inherit. My children inspire me to address global challenges such as climate change because I want them to have the best possible future.
That is why I'm honored to be part of the Global Mom Relay to help raise awareness about the issues mothers and children face around the world and how we can help create a brighter future for all of us. Please watch my video interview and share it forward to help unlock donations in support of moms and babies everywhere. Together we can make a difference.
