Adiche said,

“…Your twitter account the first word that describes you is “wife” and then I think its “mom” and then “grandmother” and when I saw that I have to confess that I felt just a little bit upset and then I went and I looked at your husband’s twitter account the first word was not “husband” and I wanted to ask first of all if this was your choice, if this was something you wanted to do or something that maybe somebody thought will be a good idea for the campaign?”
