Motivated by motherhood, Marie is an advocate for childhood hunger awareness, a worthwhile cause affecting many
families in the United States. Today, 1 in 6 children in America are at risk of suffering from food insecurity, and Marie is
passionate about connecting these vulnerable children throughout the country with the nutritious food they need to
grow and thrive. Through her connection with the non-profit organization “No Kid Hungry,” which ensures children
have access to food where they live, learn, and play, Marie has worked tirelessly over the past several years to help raise
more than 50,000 meals. She has the backing and support of her family and her extensive personal and professional
network, Marie will raise funds, educate on the topic of hunger through her writing and public appearances, and
champion for the children nationwide who cannot afford a meal. Her overriding goal is to end childhood hunger and to
break any stigmas associated with their suffering.
