Dear President of the General Assembly Mr. Bozkir,
Dear United Nations Ambassadors,
Last week I took the first step on a journey to make a #UNThatWorks.
I am not running for the Secretary-General of the United Nations to fulfill some long-held ambition. Nor do I feel entitled because of my age, gender, or ethnicity.
I am choosing to run in this election — at this moment — because of the urgency of now.
