The brows have it

Hello World!
I hope you are doing well. It is often said that the eyes are the windows to ones soul but science seems to say otherwise!

I think this shows that whatever your interest, there is a STEM for you!

Success in the Silicon Valley

Hello World!
I saw this great article and wanted to share it with you. 


https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/groundbreaking-business-leaders-silicon-valley-190329310.html

It celebrates success, offers great advice, and highlights achievements that everyone, no matter their background, can benefit from. For example, I just used  Task Rabbit and found it very easy, helpful, and cost effective for some help I needed. I will be using it again for sure! 

Based on some of the article comments I read, there is still fear and misunderstanding with regard to diversity. I think Archbishop Desmond Tutu had it right when he stated, "to be pro Black is not to be Anti White". To be pro women, LGBT, or any other category typically in the margins does not mean you hate all others, I believe it means that by focusing on those who haven't had the same level of rights or opportunities you work to make that happen. 

All people benefit when dignity and worth become the norm for all, not just a select few.

 I leave with a quote I liked from the article, a great reminder that difference can be celebrated not just tolerated!
