Equity does not exist in households where women make more!

Mom with kids on vacation "Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce."  When She Makes More ,  Farnoosh Torabi Prince is one of my favorite artists. And, I think that it is genius that the beginning of his famous song, "Let's go crazy" mimics a marriage ceremony. It makes you wonder whether he was suggesting that marriage itself was a path to insanity. If you have forgotten the beginning, here you go, "Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life, It means forever and that's a mighty long time, But I'm here to tell you  There's something else..." He writes the afterworld in the blank. However, a recent study suggests that "marriage" could be inserted in its place, especially marriage for high earning women.

My Mom, An Inspiring Working Mom

Me and my mom
I am a hardworking, working mom. However, like a friend of mine would say, I didn’t invent the gig. Indeed, I follow in the footsteps and stand on the shoulders of those who came before me, including my own mother.

Her birthday is on February 9th. So, I wanted to acknowledge her. My mother is incredibly accomplished and is currently the Executive Director of Education for The Hillside Family of Agencies. Recently, she was the keynote speaker at Geneva’s 45th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. memorial service.


I just read the article discussing her speech and she dropped knowledge. She discussed what Dr. King’s life meant to her, the importance of parents having a vision for their children’s lives, and how education is the key to success. She also emphasized that the race is not over and the battle for equality has not been won. I’ve heard that she had the crowd on its feet, which is no surprise.


What can I say? My mom is a ROCK STAR!!! Here's the article discussing her speech. http://www.fltimes.com/news/geneva-mlk-speaker-urges-audience-to-work-toward-addressing-inequities/article_3376fc80-bec4-11e5-b3bd-ef2f7d4178d5.html
