Women's History Month 2022

My questions for you this year:

1. How will Women's history month change how you do business?
2. Who are your role models?  
3. How do you inspire others?   

Sheroes who Inspire Me 

Two women who have inspired me are Sharon Nelson and Irma McClaurin. I could attempt write short biographies about them but that would be almost impossible.  My focus is on them as Sheroes.  I met Sharon in the summer of 2018, about 3.5 years ago. It feels like I have know her for much longer.  She  has a tenacity and spirit I instantly connected with.   It is rare to meet a women and know you will be friends. My favorite program is the Candidate Training Class. 

 Sharon Nelson

 

I met Irma McClaurin in 2019.  She was co chair of Seneca Falls Revisited: Womens Equality Weekend  in Rochester in 2018.  I attended the conference but did not personal meet her until the 2019 event in Saratoga Springs.  She is a leader, visionary, and fantastic lady. Take time and read some of the incredible things she has written.  Stop, take the time, & broaden your mind.

Women's History March 2021

Women's History Month

2021 is very different than I have imagined it to be. How many of you back in 1999-2000 had a picture of what you thought the 21st century would be like?   I know I had a vivid one. Certainly happy to have a women in an elected position in The White House. I wish we had a female President. Happy for the progress of more women elected in 2020 to congress & senate. Proud to be part of history in the USA.

Proud to be a woman business owner and to have accomplished all I  have in the past three years with these firsts  

•  Feature in a holiday shopping guide in my city
•  Dance festival as a vendor in Dance Flurry Saratoga Springs, NY
  
•  Host & founder of online group with video chat weekly (zoom)
•  full Year without live art events in 20 years
•  National interview in an article as a feminist
•  My work in a store in Seneca Falls,  NY
• Sell my gemstones & work at monthly festival for over a year 

My questions for you, after following my progress for the past several years:
