“…But I can hear another voice...
How lucky that I ran into you
When everything was possible
For my legs and arms, and with hope in my heart
And so happy to see any woman—
O woman! O my twentieth year!
Basking in you, you
Oasis from both growing and decay
Fantastic unheard of nine- or ten-year oasis
A palm tree, hey! And then another
And another—and water!
I’m sill very impressed by you. Whither,
Midst...

“Even the very earliest Vedic poems, composed sometime between 1500 and 1200 BC, evince a constant concern with debt - which is treated as synonymous with guilt and sin. … In all Indo-European languages (such as English and French), words for ‘debt’ are synonymous with those for ‘sin’ or ‘guilt’, illustrating the links between religion, payment and...

“Tupac and [his sister] Sekyiwa arrived in Marin City, across the bay from Oakland, in 1988. He was seventeen years old and she was thirteen.
“They went to the home of Assante, a woman Afeni had been close to during her Black Panther days. Assante lived in a poor housing complex that was rife with crime. In fact Marin City’s crime rate had soared to such levels that people...

“For those on their way to greatness [in intellectual or physical endeavors], several themes regarding practice consistently come to light: 1. Practice changes your body. Researchers have recorded a constellation of physical changes (occurring in direct response to practice) in the muscles, nerves, hearts, lungs, and brains of those showing profound increases in skill level in any domain. 2....

Are female employees valued less than female...
A question just generated in my mind, sprung from years of absorption, comparison, and consideration of thoughts surrounding working women:
Am I less valuable to the professional community, especially to professional women, if I never become the textbook definition of entrepreneur and only work in the employment of others?
I ask this because so many of the the women whose professional lives I...
