Last night I took a break from Roth IRA conversions to attend the Liberty Science Center where we were privileged to view a MOST remarkable display of Lyuba (the Russian word for love) a 1-month old Woolly mammoth who died in Siberia about 42,000 years ago.
As a Founding Member of the Women’s Leadership Council at Liberty Science Center, we are committed to supporting science, technology, engineering and math education, aimed particularly to young women and girls.
As a financial advisor, this is a cause dear to my heart as it introduces young women to the ever important disciplines that have often been the domain of our male counterparts. Now New Jersey and New York girls will have new opportunities to grow more comfortable with these “hard sciences” at very early ages, erasing any fears about their capabilities, and eventually grow into careers that traditionally have paid superior salaries.
In keeping with this “growing” theme, I also attached a picture of me standing next to a Columbian mammoth—the creature in the background of the Lyuba picture–which happened to be a cousin of the woolly mammoth, like Lyuba. So, just like the images of Lyuba at one-month old compared to this huge Columbian mammoth, I encourage us girls and women to grow into our full potential, including that of financial prowess.
We, too, can be gigantic in our reach! Let’s remove any blockages to our full empowerment, especially around our capabilities overall, and specifically with money. I see this Leadership Council as being extraordinarily key in fostering the attitude of (and my mantra) We Can Do It Women!
