Comments on: Mayor Ronald V. Dellums’ Model City Summit on Women http://blog.mkf.org/2009/02/19/mayor-ronald-v-dellums-model-city-summit-on-women/ Sharing thoughts and news about our work.

Monica, a young woman leader who I have the pleasure of working with, and I also attended. The day was inspiring and re-energizing. Susan Taylor is a gifted speaker, leader and sincere woman. It was great to get her insights and encouraging words. Barbara Lee had a well-deserved standing ovation. The Mayor was humble enough to credit his wife with making this first (hopefully of many) summit happen. I was really pleased to see some very young, emerging leaders there as well -- one woman brought her 10 year old daughter. And, so humbled by the awardee who is 98 years old! I am challenged and encouraged to continue the work of Mandela MarketPlace, and to network with more woman leaders in Oakland, and in the Bay Area. I am also challenged to spend more time on self care, with friends, and "opening the door widely" to welcome in the challenges that come along -- as Susan said, they are gifts sent to us to empower our strengths.
