2. My laugh fills a room but I am not the life of the party.

5. When I write I want the reader to be able to hear me talking.
6. I will never turn down a donut.
7. I believe storytelling can be an act of leadership, activism, or comfort.
8. A “cross-cultural training” does not mean leave your opinions at the door.
9. I love airports, except Dulles International.
10. I bake a mean pie.
