Since I was a little girl, I have loved the Fourth of July. Going to the parade. The singing of the National Anthem. Dressing in red, white and blue. Above all, the promise of this country. Many times throughout the year, I am struck by an overwhelming sense of gratitude that I am an American, but I am especially thankful on Independence Day. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Those were bold words in 1776. Yes, they were imperfectly applied, but they conveyed a hope and an ideal. It is that promise—for all—that keeps me believing that we, as a nation, are capable of continued greatness. As we continue to learn from our past mistakes, I believe we can—and must— find a way to do better in the years and decades and centuries ahead. Although we are not yet the most progressive nation when it comes to women in leadership, I believe that we have the tools, the knowledge, and—most of all—the will to ensure that the future of leadership in this country reflects all Americans, not just those that the Founding Fathers recognized. Here’s to independence and to the promise of this great nation. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸 #tothetop
