As the founder and President of Working Mother Media I have been involved with the advancement of working moms for 30 years. I am often a keynote speaker on the subject of work-life balance, the advancement of women, barriers facing women of color, and leadership. When asked to appear on major talk shows including The Early Show, The Today Show, Oprah, Good Morning America, PBS's To the Contrary and on hundreds of radio shows or to comment in newspapers nationwide, I love to tell the world how hard working mothers work to keep their families and the businesses they work for moving and growing.

After years of vigilence that expressed itself mostly in nagging I was finally vindicated about my husband's health. I had been saying for years and years that he was too heavy. He was 20 pounds lighter than he is now when I began nagging about this, and as h ... Read more...
If you haven't seen The Counterfeiters yet, rush out and see it while it’s still in the theaters. This film won the Academy Award for Foreign Film, and until I saw it I was sad that Persepolis didn't win. But having seen them both I agree with th ... Read more...
Voting in a primary has never before been this exciting. Even when I was a politically active college student, the thrill of possibility did not seem this real.I am voting for Hillary Clinton tomorrow in the New York primary. It will be a historic moment tha ... Read more...
If you are lucky enough to find Persepolis playing at a theater near you run tonight and see it. What makes this film remarkable is not the amazingly beautiful black and white animation that dazzles the eye with its gentle technique but the story of the com ... Read more...
I wish there was one solid marriage somewhere on Grey's Anatomy. Every marriage is in ruins! Christine and Burke's dissolved even before their vows could leave their lips. George's happy days with the bone crusher ended before I could get used to their mism ... Read more...
