Female Leadership

“You’re too accessible.”

That’s what Susan Zirinsky, the new head of CBS News, was told early in her career — because she was seemingly everywhere at once.

It was during that era that she agreed to meet with a young woman named Hannah Yang, who was on the verge of quitting what she had thought would be her dream job — working for Charlie Rose. She was troubled by the workplace environment and had decided to leave, but was convinced her career in journalism would be over.

Ms. Yang had only briefly met Ms. Zirinsky, then executive producer at “48 Hours,” but decided to ask for a meeting. She expected Ms. Zirinsky to say no. Instead, Ms. Zirinsky ended up giving her the most valuable advice of her career: to pursue the business side of media.

Eighteen years later, Ms. Zirinsky — known to many as “Z” — ispresident of CBS News, brought in to run the news division following a massive company crisis over sexual misconduct that included the firing of the company’s chief executive, Les Moonves, and Mr. Rose. She is the first woman to hold that job. Ms. Yang is a business executive at The New York Times, who said she now makes a point of making herself accessible, too.

Still I Rise

Image result for \ women's strength

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may tread me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still, I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don’t you take it awful hard?

Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines

Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame

I rise

Up from a past that’s rooted in pain

I rise

I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.

Poem Narrative

A little mouse would run all around, 
Searching for food that was on the ground. 

A cat was always waiting there, 
Because his food he would not share. 

The mouse went running across the floor, 
The cat had chased him right out the door. 

The mouse was looking for a bite to eat, 
And the cat was too quick on his feet. 

He chased him as they knocked over chairs, 
And even up and down the stairs. 

As they ran up and down the halls, 
The cat would smack into the walls. 

The cat had chased him around the house, 
But he could not catch the little mouse. 

The mouse ran back into his little hole, 
And the cat could not reach his goal. 

The mouse was able to get away, 
So the cat will try another day. 

2 years of living a random life by Max Hawkins

Max Hawkins created an app that made random suggestions to him about what event and programs he should attend. The app does not just pick a random place he should go to, it all automatically requests an Uber driver that shows up at his door, picks him up and takes him straight to the place that is suggested. It was not limited to just his local space but it also could suggest countries that he should visit. The amazing feature about the app is the fact that it doesn’t tell you where it suggested. so when the Uber driver pulls up to the final destination, it becomes a big surprise. The app is cool because I think it is an interesting way to explore and travel around the world to places you never thought you would visit.
