Let me tell you a thing or three. I am inspired. I feel a call to action. This month is Women's History Month. And if you know me, you know I've always got something to say.
Some of these women have literally known me since I was a snot-nosed high schooler with an Aqua Net El Debarge hairdo.
Some knew me as a snot-nosed young Soldier (wait, this is a trend).
Some of them knew me as a senior military leader (still probably a little bit of a snot-nose in their minds).
And honestly, some barely know me and may think I'm a bit of a snot-nose if they come across me on LinkedIn.
Yet when I see anything these women post in LinkedIn. When I read their profiles. When I think of the impact they have on so many, I'm like, "Wow."
Some still wear the uniform of our nation. Some are proud veterans doing big things.
Some are working to bring together an entire generation. Others are lighting up children's minds in the classroom.
Some lead huge organizations and others minister to inmates.
Some are entrepreneurs taking risks and believing in themselves.
Others are helping veterans in their military transition.
A few are techies and others New York best selling authors.
I mean we've go lawyers and directors. Commanders and Senior Executives. Lots of ridiculously fancy titles. But it's the people behind the titles who matter to me.
Ladies, I just want you to know I see you. I SEE you. I thank you. I feel your impact in a palpable way. And I really am inspired by you.
Wow, just Wow!
