Posted on July 28, 2019 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

This month’s introductory question: So, what do you want to be when you grow up? This is a question we ask children and adults. We grow up getting clues as to who we should be from significant others and multimedia images and stories. We begin in a once upon a time and have a goal of living happily ever after. Somewhere between the ages of three and ten, we seem to be drawn to the land of superheroes. If you doubt that we all arrive in this world with gifts and as a gift, pay attention to an infant or a……

This is Us Chapter One: You can count on me with Jaleh Moslehi.

We don’t usually spend time considering the impacts of human choice unless our power to choose for ourselves is taken away. But for many young women, the right to choose how their lives unfold was never an option. Whether dictated by culture, circumstance, family, or poverty, their paths are often already set. It’s all too common for women to surrender their chance for education and career. But self-determination is a dream that many young women hold onto. And for the women who receive scholarships each year from schools in the United States, choosing education over old cultural norms allows them……

Choose an attitude that moves you forward.

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“The Greek philosopher Epictetus said it perfectly more than 2,000 years ago: “People are disturbed, not by things (that happen to them), but by the principles and opinions which they form concerning (those) things. When we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own principles and opinions.” In other words, a peaceful and mentally strong person is not someone who’s always in a good situation, but rather someone who always has a good attitude in every situation. Regardless of what you’re going through, it’s about choosing: Will……

It’s Women’s History Month: Celebrate “Hidden Figure” and human computer, Katherine Johnson

Posted on March 19, 2019 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“Over a decade before Neil Armstrong made “one small step for man,” Katherine Johnson was making giant leaps for all women. Despite the fact that Johnson was the “human computer” behind the calculations that were critical to launching the first American in space, sending the first American man to orbit the Earth, and landing the first human on the moon, her place in history remained largely unrecognized—until now. In 1953 she began working at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)’s West Area Computing unit, a group of African American women who manually performed complex mathematical calculations for the program’s engineers. The women, known……

It’s Women’s History Month: She could accept the injustice, or she could rewrite the law

Posted on March 12, 2019 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“Every six months, the routine was the same for 21-year-old Harvard student Amanda Nguyen. She would walk through the doors of her local rape crisis center in Massachusetts and plead to administrators: Do not destroy my rape kit. With the massive backlog of rape kits in the U.S., it was nearly impossible in some states to ensure that a kit was tested, let alone even track down its location. New York City alone reportedly has an estimated 17,000 untested rape kits. Under Massachusetts law, Nguyen had to locate her own rape kit and file an extension to preserve the evidence in……
