Nerd Crush: Jared Cohen
In the Talk of the Town in the Nov. 5 New Yorker, there was an article on Jared Cohen. I fell in love. The guy has done more before 26 than I will do in my lifetime.
"Jared Cohen, who was born in 1981, joined the State Department's Policy Planning Staff as its youngest member. Having completed a degree at Stanford, won a Rhodes Scholarship, and earned a master's in international relations at Oxford, Cohen helps advise the State Department on 'counter-radicalization,' youth, and education, with a special emphasis on the Muslim world. Last week, Penguin published Cohen's book - his second - 'Children of Jihad: A Young America's Travels Among the Youth of the Middle East.'"
That's hot.

Weird. As I was reading down the list I got distracted and thought I was reading my resume. But then I was like, "What? Second book? I've only published one..."

ReplyDeleteMarta---I love, I love, I love your honesty. It's beautiful--and according to your little snippit on Jared Cohen, he is beautiful too!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way--I think I'm going to NYC too!! Yeah baby--round two. This is one of those vulnerable moments where I say "I am so excited to get to go with you again on another trip." and then where I hope you're thinking the same thing too! Love, sb
