“Inequality is the enemy of hope, and hope is the oxygen of democracy.”
Darren Walker transformed philanthropy by challenging the systems that create inequality. His leadership at the @FordFoundation proves that lasting change requires confronting uncomfortable truths about power and privilege. At this year's #TheAlbies, we honored his unwavering commitment to justice.

I’m honored to receive this year’s #RippleOfHope Award from @RFKHumanRights. Congratulations to my fellow honorees, Stephen Colbert (@stephenathome), Earvin “Magic” Johnson (@magicjohnson), and Martin Cabrera, Jr.
Inspired by Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s 1966 Day of Affirmation address to students in South Africa at the height of Apartheid, the Ripple of Hope Award reflects his belief in human dignity and in our collective power to advance equity, justice, and human rights.
It was a truly memorable evening. I am humbled to receive this honor, which recognizes that spirit of service.

Public media is a critical resource, ensuring every American has access to free, quality news and regional programming, whether they live in rural America, the suburbs, or big cities.
Celebrating this vital mission with New Yorkers truly captures the spirit of optimism I extoll in my new book, The #IdeaOfAmerica.
I was deeply honored to receive the Philanthropy Leadership Award at the New York Public Radio Gala. Congratulations to my fellow honorees: David Remnick, Stephen Colbert (@stephenathome), and Evelyn McGee-Colbert.
Following an introduction by John S. Rose and Mikhail Baryshnikov, I shared that even in a polarized climate, I believe we can realize our American ideals through our shared values.

With a heart full of gratitude, I was deeply moved to accept the Lifetime Humanitarian Award at the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards in Louisville.
Thank you, Lonnie Ali, members of the Ali Family, and the @alicenterlou board of directors for this honor.
Muhammad Ali articulated his humanitarian vision when he said, “Service to others is the rent I pay for my room here on earth.”
Fifty years later, Ali’s words remain a beacon and a charge—a reminder of all that we owe one another.
Service to others is our rent to our communities.
Extending dignity and opportunity and justice is our rent to one another.
Uprooting inequalities of all kinds—protecting and promoting democracy—is our rent to America and to the world.
I will cherish and honor this award as, together, we forever carry forward the legacy of the greatest.

My story began in public schools in rural East Texas. It was great to be in my home state for the @texasbookfest @tbfgala! My new book, The #IdeaOfAmerica, urgently reaffirms my belief in America's enduring promise—that from many, we are one, and I was reminded of that in this place that shaped my story.
For 30 years, this key organization has been "Opening Books and Opening Minds"—a mission I believe is essential.

Delighted to be in Paris celebrating the inimitable Barbara Chase Riboud on the installation in the Tuileries of her monumental sculpture Africa Rising. Thank you my friend Laurence des Cars, director of the Louvre (pictured) for your vision in making this happen and hosting a beautiful luncheon. Also, if you’re traveling to Paris see the brilliant Naomi Beckwith’s show at the Palais de Tokyo.

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.
