2. I was lucky to have worked with her in the mid-80's.

She was working with Eleanor Holmes-Norton as a consulting pair helping companies figure out how to enable black professional women grow in what was then an overtly white guy’s world.

Not much gets said about her brief non-governmental work but she was a force of nature in the room with the corporate mucky-mucks and she had a lasting positive impact on those lucky enough to work with her.
