Gosh…I am now in a dilemma, as I thought I was going with Obama, but Governor Palin is a sharp cookie. The democrats are saying she’s “more of the same,” but I’m not sure about that.

I watched this presentation two times through before I posted it, and I have to say, it is one great speech by Michelle Obama. She focused on family and her personal life as a woman, wife, mother, sister and daughter. This is what America wants in a first lady.

Thank-you to Sue Publicover of Writers of the Round Table for letting the Network for Executive Women know about EDGE! A Leadership Story.  As a result, they have named the book as their current main selection.  Check out the listing here.

Today Robert Renteria is the Co-Founder of WashPro USA, but spent his infancy sleeping in a chest of drawers in a one room bachelor apartment in East L.A. Robert Renteria is a man who has devoted his life to people who need a break; who takes their hands and shows them how to get out of the armpit of our barrios and ghettos and break the cycle of poverty. Listen below to this special Y Talk interview as we speak with Robert about how he is changing lives and his groundbreaking book From the Barrio to the Boardroom.

Note: If you are an educator, principal, parent, community or corporate leader, I highly recommend that you buy this book by the truckload for your school, community, Boys and Girls Club or local organization. It is truly inspiring and gives hope and inspiration to those young men and women who think they don’t have a chance in life!
