The Unstoppable Force That Is Women
Weve had to push hard through murky murk and
forge with all our might, faith, and will to come
out of the other end as unscathed as
possibledespite the scores of other peoples
narratives we are exposed to throughout our days,
about who we are, what we value, suggesting our
unworthiness of a quality lifestyle. They show up
in our paychecks that fall woefully below
equitability, in the poor quality of affordable
housing, neighborhood services and amenities, as
well as in inequitable healthcare services,
quality childcare and educational opportunities.

And then, there is the conversation about
commercewhich is improving, as we take notice
and graciously acknowledgebut there is still a
ways to go. When there are slip-ups, they are
pretty big. What amazes us most is the puzzling
absence of thoughtfulness and cultural, gender,
and historical sensitivities when major decisions
(and lapses in basic common courtesies) are made
by corporate America and our local and central
governments on a daily basis. Glass ceilings,
cement walls, blinders, and redlines are very
real parts of our realities that people in power
rarely (if ever) come up against. We shake our
heads, sometimes voice our opinions publicly, and
engage in deeper dialogue within our circles of
family and close friends. We laugh (often to keep
from crying) at the audacity, vote (when its not
being suppressed) at the polls, and give deep
thought to our purchasing decisionsthen keep it
moving.
Our country desperately needs to expand its pool
of thoughtful leadership. It starts with vigilant
efforts to open opportunities for people who have
actually walked in many shoes, have experienced
many thingsboth good and outrageously uglywho
have mindfully shaped their worldview based upon
the vastness of their personal human experiences,
and earnestly care about the real world
experiences of others.

Our country is showing signs of being over and
done with electing and reelecting the same kinds
of stewardswhite guys with limited worldviews.
Its also time for corporate America to share
many more offices in the C-suite with people who
have broader and deeper viewpoints viewpoints
that represent our real Americawhich, at the
moment, is not so great.
The tide is shiftingthankfully. We galvanized in
a big way during the recent midterm elections.
This movement is very promising. Across each of
our individual stories are shared experiences
that bring us together, and there is power in
numbers. Female leaders in Congress and other
positions of authority are stepping up to their
rightful thrones and initiating the changes that
we have all waited to see, despite an opposition
laced with gross gender and ethnic profiling. An
accusation we hear too often Progressive women
are loud-mouthed, aggressive lunatics who are
trying to ruin our country with socialism. Sadly,
people of both genders are quick to agree,
because of our socio-political conditioning.
