On Our Path, Me and My Libby

I was 18 and a first-year student in college when I found out I was pregnant. I was 19 and just beginning my second year when my daughter, Olivia Isabel, was born.

Women’s History Month Special: Changing Our Approach To ‘The Change’

Coincidentally, at the beginning of March and Women’s History Month, I started going through something that billions of women over the hundreds of years of history have been through.
