Midshipman Sydney Barber made history as the first Black woman Brigade Commander at the U.S. Naval Academy. I had the honor of speaking with her, and discussing the importance of aiming high and paving the way for others to do the same. pic.twitter.com/qiTvYc4vlE

It was an honor to speak at the U.S. Naval Academy’s graduation and commissioning ceremony. To the class of 2021: You are tireless. You are ambitious. You are idealists in the truest sense of the word. Hold onto that. Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/NKoLuWhwU2
