Grace is here to remind you that your voice matters.

My daughter is 12 and this is the first election that she is able to sort of wrap her head around.

How can I talk to her about the election in a way that explains all the news and nastiness without totally crushing her excitement for the process?

People in my life keep making comments about how the election is rigged…I

don’t really know how to respond or whether to put any stock in their concerns.

Have you heard anything, Grace?

Over the past few years, my political views and my husband’s have sort of started to separate. I’m considering voting differently this year than him for the first time but I feel kind of torn about it. I don’t really know anyone who has a “split” household anymore. Should we try to stay a ‘united front’ or is it okay to vote my own way?

Meet Grace: She’s the big sister who shares her own mistakes so you can avoid making them. She’s the classmate who passed you a pad in the school bathroom when you got your first period. She’s the coworker who builds you up to ask for the raise you deserve. She’s the person who’s never afraid to speak her mind, and will never judge you for speaking yours. She’s the friend who can keep a secret and who is always happy to listen. We created Dear Grace® because we all need someone like Grace in our corner and she’ll never shy away from the conversations that matter.
