The Sound Of White Silence

At age 53, I’m finally beginning to understand what it means to be privileged in my white covered skin. Only until recently in the last year—when I’ve seen the word Caucasian as one of the boxes to check, all I want to do—is white it out. I am a melting pot mix of...

My Black is Chocolate

Remember years ago, how great we felt when we learned that we were a spring/summer or a fall/winter gal? I remember how empowering it was to know something so simple, yet so helpful, like which colors I look best in, so that I could easily decide what makeup to buy or...

And The Merit Goes To…

When I entered my 911 show clip to the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association 2017 Sound Bites for the Feature Story category, I was so honored at Mr. Ed Perry’s suggestion to enter, that I felt like I had already won. It’s a cliche I know, but it’s true. September...

Is this Love?

Recently I gave a presentation and asked if anyone in the room set resolutions this year. I don’t think anyone raised their hand, to which I was pleasantly surprised. Who wants to set themselves up for failure at the beginning of each year? Unless you are one of the...

Free to be Me

Suddenly I’m starving.   To make the most of my time, I decide to stay in the area and have a nice lunch between meetings.  I spend ten minutes wrapping up my phone before going inside.  As I approach the desk, I playfully share that I am alone, in an over the top...

Abiding in a Buffalo Stance

Are you a giver in your business river? I know I am. So why is it that sometimes we givers can find ourselves attached to the occasional soul sucker? What is it about us that we can get caught up in all the fuss? We can focus on the pleasing beyond ones reasoning, and...

This Word is Overly Misused

What would we say if some words were taken away? Sometimes it’s more than words, and some words are easy to pull from our front pockets. The amount of times I hear this word amazes me, and many times this past week, it presented its heavy energy. This word is somewhat...

A Sincere, In Kind Decline

Recently someone invited me to attend a meeting and I replied, “I would love to go, but I can’t”. I truly did want to go to this other event, but I briefly explained that I already have another meeting every Thursday morning. If I had the opportunity, I would continue...

in the spice of their advertising life

Suddenly she shifted in her seat.  I watch as she folded her arms tight to her chest.  Her energy that was once soft & zealous has now hardened like a candy coated shell.  Just a few minutes previous, we were sharing, smiling, connecting.  There is now an...

My about me, is about you.

This was me at age 13. Today, I am a radio talk show host with a pioneer marketing platform. But that’s not the legacy I want to leave behind. Even though making marketing fun comes very easily to me, there is more to what I do and more to what I give. What I want...
