“Sometimes your ambition will lead you into rooms where you may be the only one who looks like you or who has had your lived experiences. In those moments, when you are the first, know that we are all there with you, cheering you on. And remember, like my mother always told me, ‘You may be the first to do many things—make sure you’re not the last.’” – VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS

To be ambitious means that you care enough to commit to something in your future. Our collective ambitions for justice and equity are why we marched through the streets of Ferguson…[and] why we’re still pulling for a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and the cancellation of student debt.” -REP. CORI BUSH

“As I’ve gotten older, the definition has expanded, because it’s not just about the professional for me. I want successful friendships, romantic relationships, hobbies. To me, ambition’s about working hard to have the life you want. Having that desire to take this one life we all get to live and do it our fiercely independent way and experience joy on our terms.” -PHOEBE ROBINSON
