When You Wake Up A Mother…

You Wake Up the World Last week ten bloggers traveled with Bono’s ONE.org to Kenya, to experience for themselves the reality of mothering in Africa. How much reality can you experience when you are a middle class, educated, American?

Because Every Mother Counts, Every Day

It’s Not Enough Cards, flowers, the ubiquitous breakfast in bed… coming to a household near you this Sunday morning! It is a beautiful and important thing to celebrate mothers.

Alright 2011. Bring it.

January is a funny month.  Like the world is in a giant post party fog, slowly waking up. In Australia and all parts southern, it probably means you’re under water (hopefully at the beach and not in the floods).

Cooking Up A Storm?

I Am Mad As Hell

Have you counted how many google results come up when you search “leadership men vs women”? 37,700,000 at time of writing.  The fact that the default search variable that pops up includes “vs” gets us immediately to the nub of the issue.  If you change the “vs” to “and” it leaps to 49,000,000 results.  But […]

Supermodels and the Politics of Birth

Women need to be heard.  To be heard requires understanding and knowledge.  In this, women in America are very much like their sisters in Bangladesh, Tanzania and Guatemala. All over the world, women are still dying in childbirth.  A woman dies every single minute.  In the majority of countries it is usually due to the […]
