Yes You Can, Little Girl...

Hello, friends! 

This is my daughter. She's kind of the best and a little bit ridiculous. 

On Saturday morning, my daughter asked Megan, "Can I be president one day?" This was just a little bit before Joe Biden was announced as the winner of the presidential election. It was with great pride that Megan could say, "Yes, you absolutely can!"

Representation matters. Regardless of your politics or who you voted for, we can agree that the election was a momentous one for little girls like my daughter. In the same way that the election of Barack Obama in 2008 opened up a world of possibilities for African American children all across the country because they saw someone who looked liked them ascend to the highest job in the land, my daughter can look towards 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and see a bi-racial, Asian American woman just like her, one heartbeat from the Presidency. 

I have no idea what the future holds for this little girl. Right now she's more into dolls and playing school than anything else (which makes sense because she's 3). She can spell her name and count to 12 but there's still a long way to go before she could even consider running for office.

But it's possible... and she's knows it... because she sees it... and that's pretty great. 

Have an excellent day!
