SHETalk: Rebecca Steele on Becoming a Disruptor

Aug
“My Story Is Different Than Most”
“It’s just been an incredible conference. The women who have been here and all of you who I’ve met with have been the highlight of my year so far, really,” said Rebecca Steele taking over the stage for her SHETalk on day two of our conference.
Her story, she revealed, is different than most. “I have been through crisis,” she said, “But I will tell you that I’ve been very, very fortunate to have some of the opportunities that I’ve had.”
In Memory of Aretha Franklin, a Legendary Woman
16
Aug
Sometimes the word legend is used too easily. Not so with Aretha Franklin, who passed away this morning from cancer at age 76. Aretha was nothing short of legendary. With her, all of the superlatives apply. Not only did her voice touch the hearts of multiple generations, but its raw richness was the very definition of soul.
Bodies in Motion at One of L.A.’s Most Famous Homes

The Sheats-Goldstein Residence is a geometrical gem of a home designed by architect John Lautner in the early 1960s. The famous Los Angeles residence seems at once a part of nature (it literally juts out from the hillside) and the future (its sharp glass-framed angles and custom furniture would be at home in a sleek spacecraft.) It is known as one of the premier examples of Lautner’s work.
One to Watch: ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Showcases Diversity Within Asian Communities

Aug
One has only to look at the AREAA (Asian Real Estate Association of America) 2017-18 report, State of Asia America, to see evidence of the strong diversity within the Asian American community. According to the report, the Asian American and Pacific Islander community is the fastest growing demographic in the United States, both in terms of natural born citizens and immigrants. Six ethnic groups within the Asian community number over one million each and over eight million people in the US speak either Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Korean or Hindi. These numbers are perhaps one reason the film Crazy Rich Asians coming to theaters this coming Wednesday, August 15th is generating tons of breathless excitement.

Chicago Schoolteacher Raises Funds for Her Students Midair

Jul
One of the reasons we selected Chicago for our 2018 Conference: Year of Women is despite pervasive issues of crime and poverty, many Chicago citizens care about and work to make a difference in their community. They push their city to do better by its less fortunate residents as it grows as a center of commerce, technology, and the arts.
This love many Chicagoans have for their city was manifested midair on a recent Southwest flight when a fellow passenger asked Chicago school teacher Kimber Bermudez about what she does for a living.

Uncovering a home’s story is the best part of the job
A recent story making the headlines sparked our imaginations. While not directly relating to real estate and housing, its premise is familiar to anyone who has discovered long-lost memories within an older home.
A Georgia woman walked into her local Goodwill and noticed a vintage slide projector. She opens it up upon purchasing, and in the course of doing so, is taken back in time; pulled into the world of a family from another era.

As we think of the recent crisis at the South Texas border with children separated from their parents, first and foremost, the policy’s immediate impact comes to mind. A child’s primary bond is with his or her parent. To anyone who understands that bond no analysis is needed to comprehend negative implications.
