October 30, 2018
We are all devastated by the senseless loss of lives in the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. This heinous slaughter was more than an act of terrorism and anti-Semitism.
It is a manifestation of the growing cancer within our society that has erupted in our most sacred spaces: schools where our children should feel safe, places where we worship — Angelica Berriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14959906836228680966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517822946114437320.post-27418683710232651042018-05-09T13:05:00.002-04:002018-05-09T13:21:57.579-04:00Making a Difference 2018After a brief hiatus, I am easing my way back with this speech from the 22nd Russ Berrie Making A Difference Awards.

In 1941 when female superheroes were rare, Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston, a psychologist who invented the lie-detecting polygraph machine.

"One of the most important things I’ve learned in my work is that you have to let your heart break. When you connect with people who are suffering, you have to force yourself not to turn away from their pain, but to share in it, and carry it with you, wherever you go. Because, in time, that pain hardens into strength, into conviction - and it motivates us to act. " ~ Melinda Gates

Little girls are seldom encouraged to be strong, assertive, demanding or, God forbid, powerful. Growing up in the Philippines, studying in all-girls convent schools, the nuns did not exactly prepare us to take charge and lead. Marriage was our calling, and obedience was our virtue.
