Someday I will be on Ted TV

Sheryl Sandberg, of Facebook, talks about women in the workforce.

OMG

This is amazing! My favourite quote is, "I have been wearin' dis weave for yeeaars and I have put a lot of money into it. My weave saved my life." I hear ya gurl. Once you put a weave on, it takes the force of the Canadian North to pull you out of that addiction. But thank god this bitch had her weave because it stopped a bullet dead in its tracks. (Ha ha, no pun intended. Now I know some of you are weave illiterate so that is a pun because you sew your weave into your own braided hair, and each row is called a track. Now you heard.) And in case you need a visual check this one of my very first Property posts.

My parents moved to Geneva, Switzerland almost six months ago, because my Mom became the Deputy Director for International Bridges to Justice. IBJ is an NGO committed to legal reform in the developing world. They have focused a lot on China and Southeast Asia, but my mother recently returned from The Republic of Burundi, a small country in central Africa, and they are hoping to establish links in India and Central America. The above clip is from her trip to Beijing earlier this year. She is speaking to a group of lawyers about lawyer/client relationships, and how to best defend a individual that you do not know, nor likely understand. The clip starts out a little "soft t torture" but it picks up. I was mostly just glad to see her on YouTube, since I don't get to see her in person enough. If you want to see the clip on YouTube enter Jean Amabile and IBJ. Also check out the IBJ blog at blog.ibj.org.
