This feminist dad is making sure nothing stands in the way of his daughters’ success. Read his letter to them: hrc.io/1N4kHjo



A father wrote a letter to his daughters about electing the first woman president. It's beautiful.

Dear Bethany and Jordan Grace,

I know, I know. You’re used to hearing your dad say that as long as you work hard and have faith, nothing is impossible. But sometimes it can be hard to even dream of doing something nobody like you has ever done. Trust me, I know.

Growing up, I never expected to see a politician who looked like me become president. But in 2008, I watched in awe as Barack Obama ascended to the highest political office in the country.

Now, I’ve always believed in my ability to do whatever I set my mind to. Grandma and Papa did a very good job of instilling that in me, from the time I was your age. But when President Obama took office, I felt like I really could do anything—truly, in a tangible way I could feel in my heart.

Two years later, Columbia elected me as the first African American mayor in the city’s history.

I could never have gotten to where I am if people didn’t kick down some doors ahead of me. Because of that, I feel a duty to kick down doors for other people.

When I was 29, Governor Hodges appointed me to his cabinet. He gave me the opportunity of a lifetime, and I used my position to lift up voices that weren't being heard..................
