Boss Ladies of CLE

While I was still writing Why CLE?, Maggie Sullivan approached me about a book she wrote called “Boss Ladies of CLE.” I already had the idea for Authentically CLE in the works and this seemed like a perfect place to delve into this book and the Boss Ladies that it features.

“Boss Ladies of CLE” profiles 20 diverse, amazing, accomplished Cleveland women, who tell their own stories in their own words. These woman are of different ages, races, sexual orientations, abilities, and avocations. Each has blazed her own trail, not only for herself, but for those around her and after her.

Included in the book are women such as :

  • Justice Melody J. Stewart, Ohio Supreme Court
  • Jackie Wachter, co-founder and creative director of FOUNT
  • Anjua Maximo, co-owner of GrooveRyde
  • Jill Vedaa, chef and co-owner of Salt+
  • Valerie Mayen, owner and founder of Yellowcake

And many more…

The profiles are written by the Boss Ladies themselves, telling their own stories of how they got to where they are and their vision for the future of Cleveland. The book also features beautiful portraits of each Boss Lady.

And while I don’t want to spoil the book for you, you know I love inspirational quotes, so here are a few of my favorites from “Boss Ladies of CLE:”

“Knowing what you want to do is a blessing, and you should follow your intuition on it. Use your time wisely – take your weekends or nights off and work on your passions.” – Ahlam Abbas

“I don’t expect every person to take this on as their cause. I just want every person to care about something outside of themselves.” – Erin Huber Rosen

“This is our home. You don’t like it? Change it.” – Sam Flowers & Brittany Benton

“You’re going to make mistakes, you’re going to be misunderstood, you’re going to say the wrong thing sometimes. But that’s the only way you can learn.” – Malaz Elegmiabby

Boss Ladies of CLE is now available for purchase online. You can also follow along with Boss Ladies of CLE on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

I was thoroughly inspired, challenged, and humbled by each Boss Lady’s story and I’m sure you will be too. We are lucky to have such authentic women working hard every day to make Cleveland a better place and we’re lucky to have Maggie Sullivan to amplify their voices.

***Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of “Boss Ladies of CLE.” As always, all opinions are 100% my own.***

Today on the blog (yes, I blogged!) #linkinprofile Today on the blog (yes, I blogged!) #linkinprofile...

This time, this year, has simplified life for all of us. It's stripped it down. Given us the chance to decide what matters. What stays. I'm never going to be a total homebody. I'm never going to be an introvert. But I feel definitively, and have felt for awhile, that the blogger/influencer stage is done.

So, thank you, thank you, thank you for nearly a decade of more fun, more connection, more everything than I could have imagined. You guys made this worthwhile and made it last. And now it's not you, it's me.

Two months ago, I had never heard of neuroendocrin Two months ago, I had never heard of neuroendocrine cancer. Now I’m more familiar with it than I would ever want to be.

Known as the zebra of the cancer world because of it’s rarity and the unique way it manifests in each patient, it is often misdiagnosed initially.

As happened with my mother, 46% of those diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer are at Stage IV and/or had metastases at the time of diagnosis.

@netcancerday seeks to raise awareness of symptoms both among patients and health care professionals to lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment options.

If you’re part of my circle, chances are you’v If you’re part of my circle, chances are you’ve sat around my mom’s kitchen table drinking margaritas and talking about everything big and small. Momma G’s margaritas are somewhat legendary that way...

So you can imagine how much I loved sharing a margarita in the sunshine with my beautiful momma yesterday 🍹
