Stacey Abrams helped launched a new Women’s Initiative at Columbia University’s Institute of Global Politics (IGP) last week, focusing on economically empower women and girls.
(snip)
“When asked about what an economy that focused on meeting the economic needs of women and girls would look like in an ideal world, Abrams noted that “part of the launch of the Women’s Initiative, which is embedded in IGP, is exactly that question. We know that when women and girls are lifted up, everyone rises with them. We are working together as fellows and within this Initiative to think about how women are not only uniquely and disproportionately impacted by our global challenges, they are almost entirely the solution to several of the challenges we face.”
“Digital equity, both here in the U.S. and abroad, is a critically important issue for women and people of color, which means for women of color, it is often the question of life and death,” Abrams shared. “The urgency of this moment is not lost on me. What is being done through the Women’s Initiative, what is been convened by IGP is an opportunity to bring new voices and bring an array of leaders together and not simply have us come together and bemoan what is happening or even articulate the problem. What is exciting about this and why I’m so eager to be a part of it is that our task is solution.”
“We are supposed to find solutions, leveraging the scholarship of this institution, leveraging partnerships with other organizations, including ones that we’ve been a part of, and we are bringing our own lived experience,” stated Abrams.

A lot of women, given a little power, are natural born fascists, I’ll grant her that.

I have no idea what this ghettopotamus is talking about. I guess I need a translator that interprets Kamala-Speak.

Apologies to the ladies but women are not the solution. I’m sorry to say they’re often the very problem -in any given situation. And that's different from men just how?

Yeah right, Stacy... You couldn’t ‘solve’ buttering a pancake, Hun.On the contrary, it looks like she has buttered a whole huge lot more than her fair share of pancakes.

I am sure Stacy will be amply compensated for her roll in this new boondoggle. Those all you can eat places aren’t cheep.
