• WOMEN: How to Use Our Voices

  Women’s voices are silenced, dismissed, discounted, questioned, and not believed.  Our contributions to history and accomplishments are erased.  We are often the exception to the rule, and almost never the majority.  It’s no wonder that to be heard, we feel we need to shout at the top of our lungs.  If you want a great…
