New Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer: Mommy Makin Major Moves

Only 37, Mayer has often been named one of the most powerful women in business. Mayer spoke here at at TechCrunch Disrupt NYC in May 2012.





You can be good at technology and like fashion and art. You can be good at technology and be a jock. You can be good at technology and be a mom. You can do it your way, on your terms.” – Marissa Mayer

(CNN) — Google’s first female engineer, Marissa Mayer, has made a career out of bucking expectations — and she did so once again on Monday by announcing she will leave Google to be the new CEO of Yahoo, the struggling company that once was Google’s main competitor.
The tech world reacted with shock to the news. But it’s perhaps time everyone got used to the idea that Mayer, who was Google’s 20th employee and who is credited with the success of many of its most famous products, isn’t the kind of person who does only what people expect her to do.
“There is such a stereotype of the hacker — the pasty-skinned guy with the thick glasses, the pocket protector, the blue glow coming off of the monitor … people think if they’re going to be good at this, that’s what they need to be,” Mayer told CNN in an interview earlier this year.

Adventures of Nelly & Bre- Bre: Passing my mother’s love to my sister

Me and Bre Bre

Good Morning Beautiful Mommies, Dynamic Dads and All the Magnificent folks reading my lil ole blog.

Well summer time is here. Not sure how long you have been rocking with the blog but the weather change means my little sister Bre spending the summer with us.
Bre brings with her big attitude, alot of begging, dress up everyday, a million questions and a bus load of personality. I love every minute..
Just a short story about little Bre. Our mom died when she was one, her dad isn’t in the best place to take care of her, she’s ridiculously intelligent, has a dynamic personality and struggles with finding her place in this world.  So much of who I’ve developed into is because of her. She doesn’t know our mother therefore the only direct contact she has to the mother she never knew is ME. My theory is that I owe it to my mother to act like I have some sense and prove she raised me right..LBS. 
The lose of a loved one , especially a mother, can disrupt the whole family dynamic. It sure as hell threw my life off.
As Bre gets older she questions where she belongs. That uncertainty mixed with struggles of growing up can play a huge role in adult development.  Lord knows I can’t let her grow up ratchet and lost. Nope, my mom would never forgive me. 
My sister stares at me like I use to stare at my mom. She admires me and I just can’t abandon her by selfishly just thinking of what I want. I have to be a woman she can look up to. 
It’s my responsibility to pass on my mothers love to my sister.  
You’ll here more about the adventures of Nelly & Bre throughout the summer. 

Think Before You Pop Off: The Effects of Being ‘Angry Woman’ on Your Kids

So we’ve all seen, been or are the child of a ‘Angry Woman’ that will pop off on anyone at any time. In the black community we chalk this up to the hardships of being a single mother but hell even mother’s with a man can act a fool in public.

I wouldn’t say my mother was angry but she sure as hell embarrassed me more than a dozen times in front of friends and family. At the time I don’t think she understood nor cared how her actions made me feel.

That brings me to my next point. Ms Tami Roman didn’t realize at the time she was punkin women on national television that her daughters would be embarrassed. It’s one thing people in the neighborhood knowing your mom is a goon but to have all your classmates and teachers see your mother behave like a kid you go to school with is devastating.

As women we can be a bit emotional and get lost in trying to make a point. As mother’s we have to realize we represent a few little people that look up to us. No, I’m not saying let people punk you but if you don’t show your kids how to resolve conflicts without name calling and throwing bows who will.

Our kids are not with us at business meetings and at work so they often don’t get to see us in action but they do have the privilege of riding with us in the car when someone cuts us off or when we find out some juicy gossip. We don’t want that to be the only image our kids have of us.

We have to think before we pop off ladies. Someone is always watching.
