2021 NYC Pride: Dr. Paula Stone Williams continues the fight with her newly released memoir
NYC Pride is perhaps the most magical time of the year in the city. The celebration beams with spirit, joy, imagination, zeal, and remembrance.

Power and access are largely found in and distributed through the corporate world; consequently, corporations have a distinctively unique social responsibility to educate staff on inequities and invest in equitable solutions. Outspoken speaker, Dr. Paula Stone Williams, understands the importance of educating workplace staff on the relationship between power and gender.

And how can we create the future we prefer? I’ve been keeping an eye out for trends that are likely to become post-pandemic truths; here’s what I’ve found so far.
