"Women hold up Half the Sky"

"Bajalia is a wonderful example of exactly the kind of enterprise that taps and unleashes the power and economic potential of women." Sheryll WuDunn co- author of Half the Sky.

I have been in constant communication with Sheryl WuDunn, co author of Half the Sky as we think her book tells the stories of why we do what we do better than anyone else.  We needed promotional copies to pass around to our team here and abroad. She is an amazing woman and gave us several things to talk about at our recent HSN meeting including the quote above for us to use. Sheryl also says:

"Half The Sky echoes what Bajalia is doing -- a call to join a movement to create change and make the world a better place -- with specific concrete steps, from starting your own action club to sponsoring young women abroad, fundraising to build schools, helping create new foundations, new women-focused businesses"

Sheryl we couldn’t agree more and love having you on our team and being a part of yours. Thank you too Nicholas Kristoff for continuing to carry the torch keeping global issues up front in the New York Times. You two are truly a power couple!

Great things happen when men and women here and abroad join as a collective force with one voice, We can change the world one entrepreneur at a time.

We are women hear us roar! In numbers too big to Ignore...

Don't worry I won't be asking anyone to do karaoke on stage with me in Dubai, at least not yet.
