Personal Leadership

A Statement

I’ve started this over and over again multiple times. I know what I want to say, but I also know that I run the risk of getting it wrong.

I’m a white, Jewish woman and while I love, respect, appreciate, and value people of all races, creeds, origins, and cultures, I know that I can never fully understand what people of color have experienced on a daily basis.

What I can do is say it out loud. I see you. I support you. I stand with you.

And I can state this as clearly and plainly as possible…

Black lives matter.

Uncomfortable Conversations

COVID-19 is surging again and there are debates about wearing masks in public and social distancing. There are tensions with bringing racism, unconscious bias, Black Lives Matter, and social justice all to the forefront of our consciousness. And of course, we are in an election year in a country that has never been more divided.

I see you as a leader

Do you consider yourself a leader? Many women are quick to answer no to that question, especially if they aren’t employed in a traditional leadership role. It might surprise you to hear that I see you as a leader.
