Donald Trump's wife has taken on a very strong definition of forging an individual path, writes CNN's John Avlon

The first lady has taken on a very strong definition of forging an individual path.

She wants to stand alone and be defined by her own accomplishments, rather than simply being a woman on a man’s arm.

Last week , Melania appeared on Capitol Hill to lobby for a bill that would make it a federal crime to post non-consensual pornography online.

The first lady led a roundtable discussion with Ted Cruz and Sen. Ted Klobuchar .

The only Democrat who attended the roundtable was California Rep. Ro Khanna .

Next to Melania sat advocate Elliston Berry , who is lobbying for the bill following an experience in high school in which a classmate created AI -generated pornography using images from her Instagram account.
