My guest Megan Kim, shares two riveting stories about growing up in Nebraska as a Korean Immigrant.  As she moved on to college she was faced with an experience of how it felt to be told that she was “like” her best friend. She never saw herself as anything other than an American immigrant whose family moved here from Korea. Megan faced what it felt like to be compared to her best friend who had a different upbringing though both from the mid-west.  Her friend grew up in a White family and Megan from an Asian family.  It took a bold move on Megan’s part to share with her best friend that in her rush to make Megan “like” her that she had not understood or recognized the differences between them.  Megan’s story moved me and help me understand not only the immigration story but why seeing the differences first is critical to recognizing the gifts that other cultures bring to the fabric of America.

Darcy Winslow tells her story about her journey from executive at Nike a Giant in the Sports Apparel Industry to becoming a global thought leader in Sustainability and Climate Change.

Darcy has always struck me as a power house and for many years she was the ONLY women at the table in an industry of all men... but she was NEVER was a shrinking voice. 

Always be on the competitive edge, she ushered in the new, challenging the old male paradigm. She fearlessly brought a new perspective to boardroom discussions.  Darcy helped to champion the way Nike thought about the women's product market bringing innovation and change to the sports apparel industry and the brand. By challenging the climate to look more aggressively at why women's marketing needed to change, she pushed the idea of why women's product marketing could become the lead as a revenue generator.  For women who are rising in the corporate field this is a talk you want to hear.

Guest, Miriam Karram, was born in America in Southern California to a father who is Palestinian and a mother who is Moroccan. Miriam moved at a young age to Jordan, Dubai and France with her family.  She is moved back to the United States when she was 17. It was when she returned to America that she experienced first-hand racism, a concept that she was not familiar with. It was often hard for her to live with the stares and whispers about her differences. With the encouragement of her mother she always felt that she could achieve her dreams. Conflicted with the realization that there were people that felt she was not someone who was worthy of the American Dream she like many other women of color press on. She discusses how people didn't feel safe around her especially due to perception of Muslims after 911 and how important equality and religious tolerance is what "justice for all" means.

Miriam, feels that that as a strong woman of color and Muslim her voice is essential in the National and Global conversation.  “Our voices and being more visible in the American fabric will make a huge difference for me and all of my contemporaries bringing more richness to the American Dream.”

Denise shares stories with Canon Vicar Dana Corsello, of the Washington National Cathedral about how she uses Her voice to lead an international congregation, serving thousands. 

Dana tells her story about what it is like to be a woman priest and her journey to the Washington National Cathedral, one of the largest platforms for the Episcopal Church in the Nation and world. Her path as a woman in the pulpit and speaking the truth based on the knowledge of the gospel is not always met with acceptance, yet she speaks up and out ANYWAY!  Her talk is an inspiration to women who are listening to Speak your Truth from your heart and beliefs even if others disagree. No matter how large or small the platform, it's important to claim your voice and speak your truth. Move past that little voice inside or outside that tries to say no to your truth.  This is an enriching conversation...Enjoy!
