Celebrate Women!

I've been in sorrows kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I've stood on the peaky mountains, wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands. - Zora Neal Hurston

I'm excited to celebrate another history month. That's right, this month, in the midst of our country's patriarchal legislation against women's rights, we must celebrate and acknowledge that we wouldn't dare imagine a world without women, their love or their power. .

I love Zora's quote so much that I use it in my keynote speech about overcoming the obstacles that stand in the way of us becoming the extraordinary leaders that live inside of each of us.

I continue to be inspired by my hometown.
