| Description | Nikki Haley, the one-time Republican governor of South Carolina and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, is no longer in public life. But if a recent visit to a high school near her hometown is any indication, the public isn't done with her.
The 47-year-old married mother of two has a new book, "With All Due Respect" (St. Martin's Press), recounting both her tenure in the Trump administration, and her journey from small town Bamberg, S.C., to the world stage.
She told "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell that she dislikes being described as "ambitious."
"You know, when women are referred to as ambitious, it's never in a positive light," Haley said. "I've heard that all my life: She's so ambitious. No, I'm passionate. I love what I do. I throw myself into it. So, I prefer 'badass.'"
While Haley is a daughter of the South, she's also the daughter of immigrants from India. She grew up as Nikki Randhawa. |
