My theory of change is that there are already millions of people working day in and day out on the ground to deliver on promises on global change. We need to strengthen those institutions and help those people in the field.

I don't really know what 'community' means. And I never use that word.

When I was 17, I went to India for six weeks and had what, at the time, was a very challenging trip. You walk down the street and you see lepers and beggars, and there were several of us, a group of Americans. I remember we were just trying to park one night somewhere and people were just sleeping in the parking lot.

I went to boarding school Southern, religious, and straight, and I left boarding school not being at all religious and not being straight.

Maybe it is because of Facebook or something else, but I have been interested in journalism for a long time.
