Sister-friend, we are all SO LUCKY to have you! You have taught us about relentless advocacy, humility, courage, and above all, love. G said it best. You’re always pointing towards others. Fighting for others. Loving others. You’re a legend.

**Now, before anyone flips out about “women leading,” the whole point of, as Abby says, “passing us the damn ball” is that we are out here fighting for equity. For fairness. For a level playing field in this game called life. That INCLUDES men. That demands that we build bigger tables where everyone has a seat. ‘Cause 50% of the population, with 50% of the information, making 100% of the decisions hasn’t worked out too well for most folks. So. Give us the damn ball. Move over and let us pull up some chairs. Pass the mic. The social science data and financial data alllllllll show that when parity exists, communities get happier and ROI’s go up up up. So yeah it’s morally right to fight for equity, but it also has hella great social and financial benefits. Don’t be scared. Level the scales. Let us in the c suite, the boardroom, and the friggin’ White House. It’s time.**

As my other sweet dear sister-friend @glennondoyle said of her brilliant wife’s words, “that’s the tea. THE EQUALITEA.” Yup. She said it. It’s coined. Who’s making the shirts!? ✊🏼🎉⚽️♥️💥 #WorldCup2019 #EQUALITEA #PayThemWhatYouOweThem
