I was (& am still) floored by how hard it is to unearth original content made for, by, and about professional topics that originates from the minds & souls of women.
Adding More ‘Me’ Into My Days
Lately I’ve been taking stock of things. You know, adult-y, important, life-y things. And, in taking stock of all these adult-y & life-y things, I’ve come to a fairly heavy, yet ridiculously common sensical conclusion – there’s just not enough time in the day. Seriously! I work hard. I support my family. I try as hard as …

Speak Out & Shout, Every Voice Matters this International Women’s Day
Wake Up To Change I woke up this morning as I do every morning. Full of hope for the day ahead. Full of excitement at the promise of new adventures. And, let's be honest here, slightly sleepy & bleary-eyed after what's been a manic start to a jet-lagged week after two weeks back home in …

New feminism and old boys clubs
I'm pissed off. No, let me re-phrase. I'm REALLY pissed off. At myself, for thinking that the gender equality my Mom and her generation fought for was a reality -and, for not fighting harder to perpetuate and continue their fight. At the people who continue to try to make me feel less of a human …
Feminism today
I was raised by a feminist. Not a rip-snorting, bra-burning, man-hating feminist. But a woman far beyond her time who instilled feminist ideas and ideals upon my younger brother and me. This meant that, from day one, we both were certain in knowing that girls and boys were born with the same amount of rights …
