Beyond the boardroom and policy arena, Sam brings her mission to classrooms, libraries, and community spaces through author events and book signings. Her children’s books—All the Things Our Mommy Can Do and All the Things Our Daddy Can Do—celebrate the diversity of modern families and challenge traditional stereotypes about gender, service, and career. Sam believes lasting social change starts early: when children see themselves and their families represented in the stories they read. Through storytelling and interactive events, she inspires the next generation to dream big, think boldly, and build a culture that reflects the values we strive to write into policy.
Book Sam today to bring purpose, perspective, and real-world impact to your stage, classroom, or organization.
