When I was a little girl, I once visited a family rel relative whose whose friend was, according to what my mother told me, was different from everyone else.

Hello. I am extremely elated and honored to be here speaking in front of all of you. I think I've had such a hyphenated career at such a young age in my life.It feels so careful and I think it's safe to say that every frame, every fragment of this career has led me to some sort of frame which I didn't know I was going to see, but I still did. A few years ago, I was invited to be a speaker on a panel in England alongside senior New York Times journalists and BBC journalists. And somebody in the audience aske ...
