We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.

My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.

I was raised in Boston by three older brothers and a very strong and empowering single mom.

My mom is like this hard-core, liberal feminist. She's a professor in Boston, and she's been teaching women's studies for 30 years and international politics.

Go big or go home. Because it's true. What do you have to lose?
