What's next for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced her decision to freeze her eggs, revealing her intention to document the process on social media. The 36-year-old politician, who was elected at a young age to represent New York's 14th district, stated in an Instagram post that she is taking steps to feel more in control of her life.
