President Johnson Sirleaf - Part Three (final installment - I think)

Here's the Star Tribune's take.

And here's my last comment about the event today.

I am only recently growing in my awareness of gender and leadership. I think that I pretended that it was not a problem until I no longer could. Until I started to feel the call to be a leader and a preacher and an organizer myself I was able to excuse away sexist attitudes. I can't do that anymore.

I just want to say this:

IT IS REALLY REALLY REALLY COOL that the transformational leadership of Liberia, is coming not from the series of male presidents, but from a GRANDMOTHER!!!!

I am inspired and challenged and empowered. WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!
