by Fey  Twitter: @pinkpurseintl So many things happen in a blink—so quick that our minds seem not to process them, like the first tiny drops misting our Afro puffs or pig/ponytails, as we toddled after school with our mothers in the rain.

And then she was forced to funnel the energies of onset culture- and gender-bullying, and her mixed feelings of loss, into becoming an educational champion for herself, and later, a bulwark for new San Francisco-area women in business. Rosalidia Dubon, a Los Angeles-to-Honduras-and-back again citizen of the world, has become a symbol of what womanhood, women’s mentorship and entrepreneurship—and single motherhood—can be.  The Women of Power Hours continues The Conversation about the epic sociocultural experiences of Women in the world.  🎧Listen:  https://lnkd.in/gtkFh8f Host: Fey Ugokwe, Esq.; Guest: Rosalidia Dubon.
