And then this culture you helped curate was no longer sustainable? Stefanie Wilder Taylor, author of Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay, wrote that book and immediately became the queen of wine-moms across America, appearing on The Today Show, Oprah and in The New York Times. Promoting mom's choice to choose Chardonnay to cope with motherhood.  But what if you found that the wine you casually enjoyed had become a crutch and a liability that put your family in danger?

Can you visualize a world where women are barred from eating lunch at certain restaurants or routinely charged more than men for things like, alterations and dry cleaning? Can you picture what it was like before women had the power of choice when it came to their own bodies or were taken seriously when violently assaulted? What if you had to do more than visualize it, but you had to live it…again? And what if there was no one fighting to keep the status quo of the past...in the past?  In 1966, Gloria Allred, legendary civil rights attorney and women’s advocate, had a life-changing experience that would serve to solidify her decision to become a lawyer and fight for women’s rights. But everywhere that she went to fight injustice, she was met with resistance, anger and sometimes threats of violence. What would you do if it seemed like you were waging a losing battle for equal rights? Would you take the easy road, putting your energy toward causes that might be easier to win? Or would you take the road less traveled and advocate for the choices of those victimized, no matter what?

And what if when you grew up and looked to others for affection suffering and love had become so conflated that you found yourself accepting the unacceptable again and again? When producer, director, actress and activist AnnaLynne McCord was a teenager she was raped by a trusted friend. Thinking somehow she was at fault she stayed silent about this painful event for years. What would you do if your silence about abuse or sexual assault was eating you alive.

Cookie Johnson, mother, devoted philanthropist, passionate spokesperson and NY Times Best-selling author, thought she knew exactly what she was in for when she married her college sweetheart, Magic Johnson. With the guidance of her faith, family and friends and the counsel of the other “basketball wives” Cookie found herself settling into her new life as one of the most well-known, first ladies of the NBA.

Can you imagine what it'd be like to have a dad who was a hero, not just to you but to hundreds and thousands of dedicated daily viewers? Actress, singer, producer and advocate, Holly Robinson Peete's father, Matt Robinson, was the original Gordon on Sesame Street and went on to become one of the most prolific actor/writer/producers of the 20th century. But to Holly, her father Matt wasn't just Gordon, he was her rock, her mentor and her safe place.  But what if one day your "safe place" was diagnosed with an illness from which there was no cure? Would you use your clout as a celebrity to funnel money into research? Or would you shift your role from daughter to caregiver and dutifully focus on meeting the day to day needs of the man who'd given you so much? And in turn realize others might need aid in this part of the process too?  More From Holly Robinson Peete: Learn more about her organization HollyRod Foundation Finding Holly Robinson Peete: Twitter & Instagram: @hollyrpeete The Only One In The Room is looking for an intern!
