Hybrid, Chameleon and all parts in between? We're Just People.
Gloria J Bailey
Creative Consultant at Innervoice.
As our nation completes the 2010 census and the United States and the world moves toward a more racially and ethnically diverse population, many still are challenged by their identity. Groups of people although increasingly becoming smaller still challenge and minimize their own cultural heritage and individual expression but also seek to oppress other diverse populations.
The fact still remains whether…

Primaries Push More Women Into General Elections, but Most Fresh Faces Now Belong to Republican Party
Anne E. Kornblut
September 15, 2010
Democrats used to own the field of women running for higher office. Not anymore.
Nearly two years after an anticipated gender bounce - with predictions that women in both parties would rush into politics inspired by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sarah Palin - it turns out that the momentum is on the Republican side. If there is a Palin effect, it is not being matched by any Clinton effect at… Continue

Businesses Owned by Minorities, Women Boomed Before Recession, Census Says
Carol Morello
July 14, 2010
Emogene Mitchell spent two decades in the cocoon of a multinational research institute, rising to vice president in charge of events planning. Then the economy tanked, and the workload shriveled.
In the heart of the Great Recession, Mitchell was ready to join the soaring number of minorities and women who are starting their own businesses and are expected to fuel much of the job growth over the next… Continue

Religion's Invisible Women
Katherine Marshall
July 12, 2010
Dekha Ibrahim Abdi, a courageous woman from the arid north of Kenya, devotes her life to building peace. She compares this work to an egg. "An egg is delicate and fragile. But if given the right conditions, it gives life." Likewise, the potential for peace is fragile, and it needs careful nurturing if that potential is to be fulfilled.
Only a tiny number of those who… Continue

More Women Seeking Seats in Oklahoma Legislature
Michael McNutt
June 27, 2010
More women are running for legislative offices this year in Oklahoma, the state with the second-lowest percentage of female lawmakers in the country.
If every female candidate wins her race, the number of women in the Legislature could nearly double after the November elections. That is unlikely, though, as some female contenders face an uphill battle against male incumbents.
Still, the nearly 40 female… Continue
