We Are Women, Embrace It

August 30, 2010

I am particularly proud of a piece I have over at Forbes this week. It’s a reminder that there is still a long road ahead for women in business, but that we must be active in our journey. I hope you take a moment to read it and share… This is an interesting time for women in […]

Scanty Fashion Not Just Inappropriate for School

August 18, 2010

Recently I read a story by Aisha Sultan in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch called “Clothes Send a Message.” Sultan wrote about clothing brands that claim to be geared toward the 20-something woman but seem to advertise for teen girls. These brands market using scantily clad women in questionable outfits. Unfortunately, most school dress codes don’t include […]

Learning from Mom, the Digital Way

August 3, 2010

Like many Gen Y women, my mother is my best friend. My generation has been considered the victims of helicopter parents, assuming that we can’t function without calling mom or dad for every tiny emergency.

Connecting with The Girl Who Played with Fire – Internship Opportunity

July 11, 2010

Lisbeth Salander is a woman I’d never want to double-cross. Too bad plenty of bad guys never learned that lesson. Stieg Larsson created a wonderfully complicated woman in the character of Lisbeth. She breaks the rules, takes matters into her own hands, and manages to fight her way through all kinds of tribulations. If you […]

Being a Funny Girl

July 8, 2010

Have I ever told you that I grew up thinking that life really was a musical? People would spontaneously break out in song and dance, knowing an invisible orchestra would provide the score? Sometimes I still try to sing in public, hoping someone will join in to Annie’s “Tomorrow”… A few years ago I finally […]

Play Like a Human

July 1, 2010

As a ballerina, I’ve dealt with bleeding toes, messed up knees, and a dislocated ankle. For four years of varsity crew, my bands were ripped up and callused from the oars. In soccer I shoved and got shoved, slamming into hard-packed dirt on fields without enough funding to be fully covered with grass. Female athletes […]
