As we
recently discussed here, we're having a Tweet chat with the President and CEO of NAWBO as one of our guest experts. This is huge, folks. I could not be more excited - next Monday at noon Eastern can't get here quickly enough!
When I posted the original announcement, I was aware of the possibility that many people would not recognize the name of NAWBO's president offhand, but that the name would surely ring a bell.
So let's get to know Diane a little better, shall we?

In which we discuss whether- and why- Women Grow Business is/is not celebrating Black History Month
The need for
Black History Month may seem like an odd topic for Women Grow Business to be tackling. For those of you who aren't aware, I'm a black woman. And I hear around half of African Americans are too. :)

This month, we'll be talking about
The State of Women-Owned...

The following is a guest post from community member and recent guest expert Sally Falkow.
There has been a lot of attention on women and financial literacy recently. Stats from a few different surveys show that:

2. we get charged higher interest rates
3. we pay more late fees than men do
A new infographic from David Lerner Associates lays out just how much it costs to be a woman and what we can do about it.

Recovering from any tragedy
When tragedy strikes, it is so hard to navigate your personal life, let alone your professional life.
But the world doesn't stop, even when your world feels like it ended.
I want to share my story with you, and how I recovered in my professional life after devastation in my personal life - what boundaries I set, how I reacted to others, and what I did poorly that I wish I had done better.
My personal story
In 2005, a little over a year after marrying...
