Oprah took my breath away re believing women & what it means that "Time is up." Stunning, powerful words. She put the words "Time is Up" in a historical context that demonstrated clearly, succinctly, powerfully, why change is needed. Those who abuse power have gotten away with it for far too long. That dynamic must change. When truth meets inspiration, as it did with Oprah's words, my hope is that minds can be changed, or, that, at the very least, people will begin to not just hear, but listen, and find courage to tell their stories. As more people speak, the truth will be harder to deny.
