Rocks RUN This

WE SMART ENUF TO MAKE THESE MILLIONS/

STRONG ENUF TO BEAR THE CHILDREN/

THEN GET RIGHT BACK TO BUSINESS/

Am tearing it up listening to Ms.B's Girls!Who Run The World. Hot Shifting, Seriously. And while we're on the Women World Domination tip, heard a fascinating NRP story yesterday about Germany's lack of stilettos in corporate board rooms. To sum, of 900+ corporate heads running Germany's top 200 firms, a paltry 29 are women! Mad Crazy right? What's really crazy is that while women have been a silent driver of the world economy in the twentieth century--in 2006 The Economist reported women did more for global economic growth in the past decade than all of China--women's contributions are not reflected in senior leadership. It's like being badass but not seen. Take African women, revered in a Xhosa adage as the rock you don't wanna mess with. Known badass, no question. But still grossly underrepped in top positions of power. I hear (and love) Beyonce's call for chest-pumping, but as I thump my hips to the song's sick beat, I am so painfully cognizant of just how much work needs to be done for girls to truly run this world. And enuf with talking about/report on and dissecting the problem. With the Society for Innovation in Africa (SoFIA), I'm rolling up my sleeves and saying let's do something about this already!
That's why I'm LUVIN this song. A call to action, ie. world domination(and some mean, back-flipping dancing).
