Shout-out of the Week

You surely recognize the name Barbara Bush from her family's prominent position in national politics over the past twenty five years.  She is one of the co-founders of my fellowship, Global Health Corps, and last week, she did something very brave.  She came out (no pun intended, or maybe it is) in support of gay marriage. 

This week's Shout-Out is for Barbara, because she has the guts to stand up for, in front of the entire nation and the world, what she believes in.  Whether it's equal access to healthcare for everyone, or equal access to making a lifetime commitment to the person you love, Barbara follows her heart.  Talk about letting your conscience be your guide.  To top it all off, she's incredibly down to earth, warm, and funny.  Love you Babs!
