Confidence, Credibility, Capability: Inward and Outward.   

As women, we seek to serve whole systems versus ourselves. We activate the capacity to rally change around a vision. As women, we listen and lead with our abilities and intuitions. Yet, we have to work twice as hard (if not more) to be taken seriously in our ideas and work. Gender norms can unconsciously shape our thinking and how others perceive us and fuel doubt in our own confidence, credibility, and capability.  We must play an active role in breaking down entrenched biases and in valuing ourselves more, apologizing less, and be willing to take risks. We must also amplify other women's voices. How can we unlock the full force of women leaders?

Katie Plohocky - Healthy Community Store Initiative 

Katie has developed a multi-faceted solution that brings community-responsive, economically-viable, and environmentally-friendly fresh food stores back to America’s “food deserts.” Based on her success in Tulsa, Oklahoma, she proves that it’s possible to re-build a healthy food system large and robust enough to overcome deep economic and cultural forces that have shuttered thousands of small neighborhood groceries and left more than 20 million Americans living in “food deserts.” Not only does this solution improve local health outcomes, but when food security is positioned as an opportunity for community entrepreneurship and organizing in disenfranchised areas, it generates jobs, helps the environment, and enlivens the neighborhood.
