Soon after Jay Z welcomed his first child, Blue Ivy Carter, last year, a poem the rapper had reportedly dedicated to his new baby girl zipped around the Internet. “Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich / I didn’t think hard about using the word B—-,” it opened. “I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it / now with my daughter in this world / I curse those that give it.” The poem turned out to be a hoax, but a spate of recent research backs the idea that close relationships with women can dramatically sway men’s attitudes and behavior, at home and at work, for better and for worse

I created LeadershipGirl as a resource for entrepreneurs to help them grow their businesses. I am the mother of four school-age children, two boys and two girls. I lead three girl scout troops- two regular troops, and another special interest troop focused on international travel. I am also my youngest son's tiger den leader, because I was apparently bored. I am passionate about helping people grow to be a better version of themselves, and that we always have room to grow and improve.
