Today Stacey Abrams, a U.S. voting rights activist, is here to remind us that setbacks are a part of life. Our job as parents is not to keep our kids from challenges, but to help them learn how to keep moving forward with purpose, using their circumstances to fuel the flame of ambition.

Watch the full clip here. Check out Stacey’s books, Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America, and Lead from the Outside: How to Build Your Future and Make Real Change.
