Kate Lewis

When I was little, I loved watching my mother get ready for work each morning. After putting on her skirt suit, Mom applied some makeup – "war paint" in her words – and let me pick out a pair of heels so she would be taller than the boys. In the car on the... View Details

Keta Burke-Williams

Figure skating was solace. I loved the cold, rink air against my cheeks, the sound of my blades carving grooves into the ice, and the intoxicating scent of Trident tropical gum, cool air, and Zamboni gas. That was absolute freedom. As I grew taller, and the cost of ice... View Details

Josh Solera

Two hours after completing a grueling lunch shift, I tended to an empty barbeque restaurant – slicing lemons, arranging ketchups, refilling salt shakers – doing my best to bide the time and not worry about college. The phone rang – a relative rarity for 3:30pm on a... View Details

Jocelyn Goldberg-Schaible

Timing is everything. And for a little girl with a strong independent streak, being born in 1953 was pretty much perfect. Princeton was just going co-ed as I was starting college, and I was lucky enough to be one of their first female pioneers. Then on to HBS, for... View Details

Joe Nagae

To be Joe. I have inherited two extremely different Asian cultures: Indian and Japanese. I love both of my home countries and embrace their dualities. As the only non-Japanese looking boy in my Japanese nursery school, I was asked from an early age about my cultural... View Details

Jessica Decklinger

I remember standing in my crib and watching my mother sing Aretha Franklin's "R-E-S-P-E-C-T." And while I had no idea what she meant, she sang it loud and with an effortless comfort that revealed to me a life lived with no apologies. My mother never... View Details

James Corcoran

Think strategically. Invest for the long-term. Build sustainable institutions. These are all dogmatic precepts I've come to believe. But do I miss out by not paying enough attention to the things that are by definition not sustainable — the vanishing moments that... View Details

Joan Cheng

The hardest thing for me is to be number two. As a kid, I would intentionally misspell a word to disqualify myself from the annual spelling bee because I was afraid of what would happen if I made it to the next round, and the next, and the next. I told myself I'd... View Details

I want to heal. Scanning the room in this make-shift clinic, we were surrounded by patients wasting away from diseases we knew how to cure, and patients suffering from disabilities we knew how to fix. Although the money had been raised to alleviate this suffering, the... View Details

Growing up, there was this girl: Adriana. She was better than me at everything. She was better at math. Her stories were better. She played volleyball better than me. I was always trying to beat her, but very rarely did I succeed. And then one day, she was missing. It... View Details

One day, I will build a crib from scratch. It will feature stained wood for style and monster truck-sized tires for performance, just in case we need to move it around. The project will be exciting and my joy will come from the little person who will inhabit the Martha... View Details

Jason Brown

I’m all too familiar with not fitting in. It started when I was young. Coming from a Filipino-Japanese-Caucasian family, I’ve never known anyone who looks like my brother and me. It got harder as a teenager. Never “one of the boys,” I was always the last pick for... View Details
