Gloria Squitiro

Gloria Squitiro has been married to her husband Funk for over forty years. While living in Kansas City, she became his campaign manager by default and has the rare distinction of being the only First Lady in America who was legally banned from the City Hall office where her husband, the Mayor, worked. Good Morning America, Fox and Friends, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, USA Today, The Washington Post—even Great Britain’s left-wing The Guardian and America’s right-wing Rush Limbaugh—did stories about her. Squitiro has a bachelor's in psychology and is published in Harper’s Magazine. Her memoir, May Cause Drowsiness and Blurred Vision: The Side Effects of Bravery, is the first in her three-book C’mon Funk series. She is the birth mother of Tara and Andrew, and the cosmic mother of Alex, Nick, Pipo and Anna. She takes in stray humans like others do stray animals. She lives in Washington, DC with Funk, surrounded by some of their flock. Gloria has an INFJ personality (introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging): An advocate and dreamer who takes concrete steps to realize goals and make a lasting, positive impact. Helping others is her purpose, but not through charity work. Her passion is to get to the heart of issues so people need not be rescued at all. www.gloriasquitiro.com
