1. Who were the influential women in your life while you were growing up?
--I don't think I had any "growing up" but as a teenager and adult, the most influential women in my life have been...
~My Aunt Peggy...she's the one who inspired me to become a nurse. She's been a NICU nurse for 25+ years.
~My first stepmother...she taught me how to eat like a lady, speak using proper English (she was a University English professor), and how to shave my legs
~My friends (Donna, Jacs, Jules)...these women have made such amazing impacts on my life by teaching me that it's TRULY a blessing to be myself and allow the world to experience the amazing woman I am

2. Who are the influential women in your life now?
--as crazy as this sounds, I really don't think I have many...maybe just one...Jacs. She influences me daily...sometimes good...sometimes evil. lol (ha ha ha, Jackie!)

3. How would you describe the status of women where you live, compared to the rest of the world?
--oh wow! I grew up in Saudi Arabia and saw the women reppressed for years! And while women in the US have far more freedom than other countries, I think women here in the Midwest are still repressed and treated as 2nd class citizens.

4. What is the single thing that would most improve the status of women where you live?
--education

5. I can't think of a fifth question on this topic, so the fifth question is: make up a question about women and women's rights and answer it.
--Why are women of power treated with disrespect...even by other women? I don't have an answer for this other than to say, maybe the ones who can't show respect are scared of allowing it.
