Coach Natalie Randolph, Woman History Making High School Football Coach

Woman History Maker-DC, MD, & VA this week: Natalie Randolph, Coolidge High School football coach who inspired her team to win in academics as well as football. She made history and national news in 2010 by being named the football coach of Coolidge High School in Washington, D.C. After a challenging first season, this year she led her team to the Championship Turkey Bowl with an 8-2 record. Not only that, her football team has improved their average grade point average from 2.75 to 3.0! Even though the Coolidge Colts did not win this year's Turkey Bowl, Coach Randolph has built a foundation for continued success. Check her out in action, WOMEN AT LIBERTY.

Stories of Adoption...National Adoption Month 2011

November is National Adoption Month. Through out the month, we have been sharing special adoption stories via the Women History Makers-DC, MD, & VA Facebook page and WOMEN AT LIBERTY website. This past March during Women's History Month, when the Women History Makers-DC, MD, & VA program was debuted, a special guest blog entitled, "Women Helping In Creating New Families", written by Dr. Sonya Ramsey, talked about two women-owned adoption agencies making a difference in their communities. Today we are happy to present adoption stories from Another Choice For Black Children of North Carolina, founded by Ruth Amerson and Adoptions Together, founded Janice Goldwater. These women are women history makers and we celebrate and applaud them for their work.

I promise you are going to love the stories of Tommy Lee and Sharon Hayes-Brown (featured on the Discovery Health Channel) and also the foster child we will call DeShaun. To view and read the stories, click here.

Leadership Tuesdays: Desire Over Fear...Sheryl Sandberg

“Don’t let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face—and there will be barriers—be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold. I promise that you will never know what you’re capable of unless you try." 
--Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook

Leadership Tuesdays!

Leadership Tuesdays’ goal is to provide a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage, and strengthen women leaders.

Welcome back!  We are continuing our inaugural season of Leadership Tuesdays with an article featuring Sheryl Sandberg, the Chief Operating Officer at Facebook, written by Ken Auletta in The New Yorker entitled, “A Woman’s Place:  Can Sheryl Sandberg upend Silicon Valley’s male-dominated culture?”

The article, which is a very good read by the way, discusses not only Sheryl Sandberg’s history and her ascent to her current position at Facebook, but it also takes a look at her philosophy on women excelling in the workplace and the type of activities she is involved in to promote the next generation of women leaders. In addition, Ken Auletta does a wonderful job of presenting other points of view, sometimes opposing, on how…

Women's History Month | Celebrating Women and our Greatness!

Happy Friday to You!  I hope that you are celebrating Women's History Month and the women in your community and life who have made tremendous sacrifices and contributions that have impacted the lives of families, communities, and the world.  This week the WOMEN AT LIBERTY and the Women History Makers Program featured a blog by Blanche Williams,  Founder and Moderator of the Annual National Black Women’s Town Hall Meetings, Talk Show Host, and Public Speaker.  The "21st Century Sisterhood of Greatness Global Manifesto™" provides us with ten great principles on how we should think and treat one another as women, such as:  1)  Redefine Our Identity; 2) Reclaim Our Dignity; 3) Revolutionize Our Thinking...and more. (To go to the blog, click here.)


Coming up this week, WOMEN AT LIBERTY and the Women History Makers Program will feature a video of Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook Chief Operating Officer, answering the question of "Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders".  Allison Miller, Guest Blogger, will give a personal testimony of her spiritual journey.  Lastly, in February we asked seasoned married couples to answer the question, "What's The Secret To Your Lasting Love?"  We will show you their answers next week.

Women History Makers Program

Good Day All!

I hope that you all enjoyed the Black History Months Blogs and posts.  I have been busy working on a special project to honor women who have been pioneers and trailblazers in the Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia area.  I actually spoke of the project in a blog honoring the life of the late Apostle Betty Peebles last October.  This project will honor women in the fields of:

• Art & Literature

• Business
• Civic/Religious Leadership
• Media
• Medicine/Science
• Music and Entertainment
• Public Service & Education
• Sports

Are you a history maker? Do you know a history maker? Go to WOMEN AT LIBERTY for more information.  Nominations begin March 20, 2011.  

This week, the WOMEN AT LIBERTY Blog featured the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan's (D-TX) historic Keynote Address at the 1976 Democratic National Convention. She was the first woman and African American to deliver a keynote address at the Democratic National Convention. Also remembered was the late Apostle Peebles of Maryland who was the only woman to lead one of the United States' largest 100 churches' in recent years.
