Each broadcast can be replayed immediately following the show. ======================== It's easy to dismiss the charges of those who make claims of sexual harassment. I've heard the responses from those who have either never been a victim or have simply forgotten past incidences where they were either the victim or the perpetrator. "I don't believe them," they say. Or, "Why did they wait so long to bring charges to the guy?" Or, "It can't be true! Mr. X is such a nice guy. He wouldn't hurt a flea!" These comments mount up to potent ammunition AGAINST the accuser and can often shut down a viable complaint before it's even uttered. Today's show will examine 15 credible reasons why women won't tell and why too often the guy gets away Scott free because he knows the court of public opinion often swings in his favor. In this era of high profile men losing their jobs, their status, and their reputation, too often it's the woman who suffers EVEN MORE when she is compelled to keep her mouth shut. ====================== The 15 Reasons Why Women Won’t Tell 1. They are vulnerable. 2. They feel powerless. 3. They are AFRAID! Fear. 4. They have been threatened. 5. It causes internal threats to their job security. 6. It causes external threats to their job security. 7. Lingering Questioning: Am I To Blame? 8. You may not be believed. 9. Fear of Retaliation. 10. Fear of Isolations by colleagues, friends, and family. 11. They are not secure in understanding the company’s sexual harassment policy. 12. Society will blame them, and they will be left, “Holding the bag.” 13. Lack of training. 14. Lack of confidence. 15. The tendency to be risk-averse.

Yes, we outsiders were shocked, but insiders who knew these men weren’t surprised. What’s even more damning are the scores of their defenders, after they release statements admitting their actions. Sexual Harassment is widespread, global and a daunting declaration of power and dominance over unsuspecting victims, both female, and male. Announcements about someone getting fired because of sexual harassment triggers incidences that happened years ago, tucked away never to be presented to the light of day. Sexual Harassment is a PROBLEM. And today’s show will tackle five key issues you should know about when confronting sexual harassment both on and off the job. From Congress to the break room at work, we all must face the issues of sexual harassment so that it can be contained and eliminated wherever possible. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Each broadcast can be replayed immediately following the show. ======================== I heard the call and I answered without hesitation. That’s just how it hit my spirit. Days before America had witnessed one of the biggest upset elections in our history when the influential Hillary Clinton had lost the presidency to a man with a checkered personal and business background who had never held public office. It was the electoral college votes in three key states that carried him to the finish line, despite the more than three million popular votes cast for Clinton. By November 9th, that turn of events left the nation shocked, elated, saddened and resentful and the election results came rolling in. Donald Trump would be the 45th president of the United States of America. While some sat and cried, Teresa Shook, a 60-year-old retired grandmother from Hawaii took action. She set up an event page on Facebook and asked friends and colleagues to sign up for a proposed March on Washington on January 21st. The list grew from 40 to 10,000 within days, and a new movement was born. We’ll tell the rest of this amazing story and how this march affirmed my principles as I marched with thousands last Saturday in Washington DC. One woman made history and has ignited the fighting spirit of an American society. On today’s show, we’ll tell you how you can get on board by making your voices heard. ========================= About Teresa Shook and the January 21, 2017 International Women's March (Source Wikipedia and Reuters) Hawaii grandmother Teresa Shook wanted to share her outrage with other women the night after Donald Trump was elected president, but she had few options in her remote island community. So she went on Facebook and in a popular political group wrote the first thing that came to mind: I think we should march. Four weeks later, organizers credit Shook’s quiet plea with igniting what could be the largest demonstration in the nation's capital related to a presidential election. More than 125,000 people from across the country have signed up to march in Washington on Jan. 21, the day after Trump’s inauguration in support of women’s rights. Sister protests are planned in London and Frankfurt and online interest has grown to hundreds of thousands. "I didn't have a plan or a thought about what would happen," Shook told Reuters by phone from the island of Maui. "I just kept saying, I think we should march." (This article was written before the March exploded to include over 2 million people worldwide.)

Women have contributed to ALL facets of society, and now make up more than half the population of the country. And even though we celebrate our accomplishments, trials and tribulations in the US, we also celebrate the value and significance of women ALL over the world. Most importantly those women who toil and untirelessly keep their families together, often making less than a dollar a day. Those women deserve dignity, respect and support from the rest of us. We’ll also applaud the achievements of our veteran women, including Patricia Odom, who was honored in last week’s Black History Breakfast. Women…we salute you on today’s program! * Click Here To Read More About Patricia Odom: ==================== About Women’s History Month (US Government Version) Source: http://womenshistorymonth.gov/about.html Women’s History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week." Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as "Women’s History Week." In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month." Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.” =========================== National Women’s History Project (Non-Profit Organization) Source: http://www.nwhp.org/about-2/our-history/ In 1980, the National Women’s History Project (NWHP) was founded in Santa Rosa, California by Molly Murphy MacGregor, Mary Ruthsdotter, Maria Cuevas, Paula Hammett and Bette Morgan to broadcast women’s historical achievements. The NWHP started by leading a coalition that successfully lobbied Congress to designate March as National Women’s History Month, now celebrated across the land. Today, the NWHP is known nationally as the only clearinghouse providing information and training in multicultural women’s history for educators, community organizations, and parents-for anyone wanting to expand their understanding of women contributions to U. S. history. ============================ International Women’s Day Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women's Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year.[2] In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women for their economic, political, and social achievements. In some regions, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for people to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. Some people celebrate the day by wearing purple ribbons. ================ US Census Bureau Facts About Women http://www.census.gov/newsroom/facts-for-features/2016/cb16-ff03.html

History of Mother's Day--The Action of One Woman: The driving force behind Mother’s Day was Anna Jarvis, who organized observances in Grafton, W.Va., and Philadelphia, Pa., on May 10, 1908. As the annual celebration became popular around the country, Jarvis asked members of Congress to set aside a day to honor mothers. She succeeded in 1914, when Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. My Mentors In this video I am paying tribute to the women (and men) who raised me at my home church, St. Paul AME in Detroit Michigan. This video shows how important mentoring is between generations. Enjoy! Happy Mother's Day To All!! 
Dear Valued Reader:
This is just a taste of what we are experiencing here in India. Such an extraordinary people and truly an incredible country. I will provide much more commentary in the days ahead. Today we visit the women and children of Thirumani Village and the Educational Center that the Christiana R. Gray Women’s Missionary Society is supporting. The items you see in the photo are hygiene and educational supplies donated by the delegation that will be distributed today. I am honored to lead this delegation, and am learning so much during my second trip to India. Stay tuned for more highlights in the days ahead. -Carole Copeland Thomas, MBA CDMP  In the United States the sacrifices of so many who often died to guarantee our right to vote should never be taken for granted.
