Fmr. PM Ardern: ‘You Can Be a Nerd, a Crier, a Hugger … [and] You Can Lead, Just Like Me’

EXCERPT:

ARDERN: “Now, I cannot determine what will define my time in this place. But I do hope I have demonstrated something else entirely. That you can be anxious, sensitive, kind and wear your heart on your sleeve. You can be a mother, or not, you can be an ex-Mormon, or not, you can be a nerd, a crier, a hugger -- you can be all of these things, and not only can you be here, you can lead, just like me.”
