I didn't write Mad Women because I was angry, though I have been. I wrote it because I was tired of systems that punish ambition, desire and defiance in women while celebrating the same traits in men.
In 2007 as a Masters student @BondUniversity I remember asking the same question - are we overdiagnosing children with #adhd and #autism
Interesting report from @4corners @ABCTV on adult adhd.

The wisdom from #BarolongFarms #Botswana When you say ..It takes a village..do you know the framework that makes a village?

Today, I am reminded of the power of "US."
Relationships are at the heart of everything we do.
While people have the power to start wars, it is people who have the power to end them.

There is no military objective that justifies the wholesale destruction of a society's infrastructure or the deliberate infliction of suffering on civilian populations.
Conflicts end when leaders choose dialogue over destruction, @antonioguterres says.

Gen Z is buying less and less alcohol when they go out to shows. The alcohol brands are tightening their purse strings and sponsoring less and less events. Sales are crashing. No one is spending money at the club anymore because it’s boring. 2026 is going to be interesting…
Thinking what happened in the world today where a sovereign country can be invaded and its governance and assets taken over!! 🙆🏿♀️ well this is not new - we are just seeing it in real time via technology..#America has always been involved!

Dear South African media,
Be careful not to fall into the trap of making the first G20 Summit on African soil all about America, specifically Trump’s boycott and his back-and-forth on that decision. Focus and report on the important matters at hand and ignore the Oval Office side shows or theatrics meant to distract everyone from the summit’s real agenda.
#Brisbane was that an earthquake we just had? The house shook and windows rattled..my dog was acting crazy just before ..he felt something
