Disabled women make 50 cents for every dollar a non-disabled man makes. The gap is even steeper for disabled women of color. It’s time for everyone regardless of gender, race or condition of ability to get equal pay for equal work.
The time for change is now! #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay

I got to meet THE Shaquille O'Neal at the annual Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry dinner!
At 7’1” he’s humble, hilarious and spoke from the heart. On Kobe’s tragic passing, he wished he’d made more calls. As a result, I am calling my folks more often just saying hello!

Words cannot begin to express the profound sadness in our community with the news of Kada Scott's death.

Kada was a bright light with a promising future, who had so much give. I am praying for her family & loved ones.

Kada’s passing must embolden us to do more to protect women from abuse.

This is YOUR reminder to schedule your annual mammogram!
I stopped by the Penn Medicine Mammography van to let you know that early detection saves lives. Talk to your doctor about preventative measures you can take to protect yourself from breast cancer!
