The struggle is surreal
After so many decades, where are we? My new friend Connie recently introduced me to Donna Ferrato. I was a little star-struck.

Donna’s seminal work as a photojournalist, gave the public an inside view into the shameful, secret horror of […]
WHY AREN’T THERE MORE WOMEN AND MINORITY LEADERS IN HR?

I disliked Sheryl Sandberg because she is successful.

Women, Speaking and what’s fair?
Awhile back I wrote a post about someone I admire, it happened to be a woman and for Ada Lovelace day.
That woman, Marilyn, recently has become part of a group called Technically Women, along with several other woman that I know (some more than others). Now it’s quite interesting that very recently as I myself […]
