I was touched when Melinda decided to write about my mother and my grandmother in her new book, The #MomentofLift. They were both tremendous role models for my sisters and me. I will always be grateful to my mom for instilling in us a love of reading and learning early on. Happy #MothersDay to all of the mothers out there -- and especially to my children’s role model, @melindafrenchgates.
