I came across a great site a few months back called ‘Makers‘. It’s a collaboration between AOL and PBS and it’s all about highlighting the accomplishments of groundbreaking women.  The stories  on the site were really inspiring and they reminded me of my mom.

Single mother, accomplish doctor and mentor, raising a somewhat undisciplined child. She never took no for an answer, she ruled with an iron fist, and she frankly got sh*t done. I’m very proud of her and credit her with making me the person I am today — still a little undisciplined btw 😉

Here is an excerpt of one of the site’s videos featuring Ursula Burns, the current CEO of Xerox (and notably the first African American female CEO of a Fortune 500 company):
