When people stop me and inquire about my more elusive sister, they typically ask, “Is she married?” I understand their curiosity, but internally I beg them to ask about what she’s doing. I want to tell them about the work she does, about the nonprofit she started all by herself, about all that she’s accomplished. And recently I did just that. A woman at an event asked in a worried tone: “Why isn’t your sister married?” I took a deep breath and responded, “She is married. To her work, Global Health Corps. You can google it. Oh, and she has a nice boyfriend too.”
