If you hide in your cubicle, some day you’ll want to break out and be more than what and where you are. Take a look at the women I profiled who were hammered during most of their lifetime and made a difference for all of us at SheOwnsIt.com. […]
India Can’t Save Women from Rape: Creates Gun for Her
It’s hard to look at India and not wonder what happened to the once thriving culture and home to the man of peace, Mahatma Gandhi. Today, it is defined by violence against women that is brutal, systemic and pervasive, leaving no individual woman safe from its grip on society. […]
Above all, love each other deeply.
I’ve only seen them at a circus or zoo and their slow, deliberate movements just seems so forced and exhausted. There’s a lot to dislike about circuses. […]
Stop all the clocks: saying goodbye to Jahi McMath

Even the medical examiner said that there were no signs of foul play. Was there neglect? I’ll bet both women would show signs of neglect. […]

Citi Professional Women’s Network: You’re doing it wrong
I’m going to quote one of my favorite women leaders, Fannie Lou Hamer, “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Here’s my open plea to Citi’s Professional Women’s Network – please stop with the open-ended citi discussion posts.
