I never thought I’d be a Woman of the Year.

I was extremely lucky to even survive. Hi friend, I never thought I’d become an activist, and I never imagined myself suing the state of Texas.   But when I was 18 weeks pregnant, with a daughter my husband and I chose to name Willow, I began experiencing preterm prelabor rupture of membranes. Unf…

ICYMI: Texans spoke directly to Greg Abbott >>

Share your #StateOfMyState Story Friend,Did you watch yesterday’s State of the State address? If you opted not to watch Greg Abbott’s 45-minute tirade, we don’t blame you.
