For young girls whom I meet a lot when I travel around the country it will be a big thing. It will really show them that there's no post in Denmark that a girl can't aspire to.

I travel Europe every couple of weeks. I just came back from London Holland and Denmark. Every nation on this planet has its issues with race and I am not sure if everyone has figured out how to deal with it.

Being identified as a poet in France or Denmark or India one is greeted with gracious respect.

Denmark needs change Denmark needs to move on and Denmark needs my leadership.

The countries who do the best in international comparisons whether it's Finland or Japan Denmark or Singapore do well because they have professional teachers who are respected and they also have family and community which support learning.

People who have not done their research on me do not know that I am European born in Copenhagen Denmark to an Italian father from Napoli and a mother from Alabama who was singing opera and went to Europe met my dad fell in love and then moved back to Rome where I was raised between Rome and Hamburg.
