I am really psyched about TEDWomen, coming this December to DC in a two-day conference to focus on women from around the globe and their issues, innovations, insights, the whole shebang. Considering we’re talking about 50% of the population from around the globe - statistically slightly more, even - it’s sort of amazing and mouth-dropping that focusing on women is called “an emerging story,” but hey - TED calls it like it is, not like it should be. From the website:
Over the last several years, our ideas about women have changed. Investing in women and girls was once seen as a radical notion; today, its value is clear. A new lens reveals women as powerful change agents: In developing nations, women and girls hold the vital link to economic growth, public health, political stability. In the West, generations of educated women are forging new directions in the sciences, arts, business and beyond.
To track this emerging story, the first-ever TEDWomen will explore in depth: Who are the women who leading change? What ideas are they championing? How are they shaping the future? TEDWomen will also reveal how women and men, in concert with one another, orchestrate different but complementary approaches to ideas worth spreading.
The cross-disciplinary, cross-generational program will focus on how women think and work, communicate and collaborate, learn and lead—what this means and why it matters to all of us. Speakers from around the globe—from anthropologists to artists, scientists to soldiers, bankers to builders, farmers to futurists—will share their ideas in the world-renowned TED format, creating a program that surprises and inspires.
I’m already surprised and inspired. And excited. Will the dudes come? They should. Not only will it be a sweet pickup joint (ladies in the house holla!) but there is major money to be made off understanding the needs of 50% of the population - oh and also tapping into their brainpower. See you there, Fred Wilson!
Last week I had the tremendous honor of receiving word that my interview aired on my birthday (June 18, 2010) to launch Euodoo Radio.
This is my first forex interview, my first traders interview, and really my first time being on the other side of the camera and interviewed. Being hard on myself, I see where and how I could improve but Scott Cisco is a really great interviewer and the interview itself came out excellent, I think. Thanks again to Euodoo Trading for giving me the tremendous honor of having my interview be the inaugral episode for Euodoo Radio. The response and feedback have been TREMENDOUS. I am truly humbled by it and thrilled that so many traders find value in my experience.
What do you think?
“thanks…good anlaysis”
My first comment on FMFX. cool! :)
I liked the movie. It really is a good film and it is funny too. The voodoo in the movie was a little too scary for the kids but I’m sure they’ll come around once they see it a few times. A great cast with some surprise names in there. I agree with Keith David - the film is indeed historical. “The Princess and the Frog” is Disney’s first Black princess. I have to admit I’ve never noticed. Terrence Howard makes the point in the video that all little girls related to Snow White. Nevertheless, it is interesting to consider that in its 86 year history Disney has cast an Arab and Native American princess before casting a Black one.
And the youngest Formula One World Champion! (via @oceanhaven)
Lewis Hamilton (shown here with girlfriend and PCD lead Nicole Scherzinger) is the first and only Black (mixed) Formula One competitor ever. He’s also on track to win tonight at the finals after pulling in first during last nights quarter finals. I came to the Grand Prix not knowing much about the sport let alone who I’d be cheering on but it didn’t take long for me to find the one. “At the age of ten Hamilton approached the McLaren team principal, Ron Dennis, at the 1995 Autosport Awards ceremony and told him “‘I want to race for you one day.’” Less than three years later, he was signed by McLaren and Mercedes-Benz to their Young Driver Support Programme” (via). How’s that for having a plan and sticking to it. Here’s to hoping my pick wins tonight.
