On one hand, these women are saying "YES, it's possible to be a successful woman of color." And at the same time they are also saying, "YES, the success that we have, considering who we are, what we look like and where we come from, may seem impossible but we actually achieved the impossible."BlkVikingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-56996514327512690872012-12-20T06:09:33.981+01:002012-12-20T06:09:33.981+01:00Thanks for posting that video of the women's c...Thanks for posting that video of the women's conference.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing about other such conferences around the world. But, I've one little quibble - I think that the name "I'mPOSSIBLE" is much too close to the word "impossible".<br /><br />It's too bad the names "Sister to Sister", SistertoSister, and "Sister 2 Sister" are taken (the first a heart disease preventative group, the second for a Jewish group for divorced women, and the third for a Black female social magazine). I think anyr of those forms of that name would have been a great name for the conference. <br /><br />If that group wants to consider another name, here's a suggestion: "Sisters Speak".<br /><br />Still, the conference is a great idea. More power to that project!Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.com
