By Kristen Robinson Last Monday, I went to “Putting Change on the Menu”, an event hosted at 1871 by Women Employed, a Chicago-based nonprofit advocacy organization that has focused on ensuring work fairness and educational success for over 40 years.

I have avoided live videos as long as I could. Well, until last week. With the rise of Periscope and now Facebook Live, it seems that more folks are taking advantage of recording live video of themselves. For me, I always put too much thought into going live and as a result, it prevented me from creating videos altogether.

When I have a major decision to make I’ll try to predict every possible … Continue reading Have You Thanked Your Sister Circle Lately?
