Passionately enjoy life!

Without women's full inclusion at the decision making table, we cannot have any healthy decision making that is good for men and women alike.

No change can come if those who are impacted the most by discrimination are not willing to stand up for themselves.

Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.

Historically speaking, religious and conservative groups always wanted the control over the private sphere that impacts women most, as reflected by family law and women's access to resources and mobility. And often secular groups traded this for economic incentives and trade.

I believe that leadership acts should be manifested by engaging in external work that can be observed and shared with everyone else.

I by no means intend to simplify the challenges women face in any culture. Women are marginalized in all cultures in my opinion, some in more extreme ways than others.
