BEING EQUAL DOESN'T MEAN BEING THE SAME is an inspirational call to action, including female-friendly plans and tools to enable women to chart their own futures and pursue lives of satisfaction.” "Over the past decade especially, women’s contributions to business and philanthropy have accelerated.

I’m trying to remove all the “unders.” As advocate, author, speaker and media commentator, I’m remaking the global and national narratives and media optics that exclude women’s voices. I’m working to expand expectations for women of wealth and power."
