I’m not ready for marriage, but I’m doing it anyway – a man’s perspective.

Last week I proposed to my girlfriend and, amazingly enough, she said yes. If you knew me, you would know that is nothing short of a miracle. As I began to share the news with family and friends, a trend developed among my male cohorts. Their response took some form or another of the sentence,…

Recently I listened to a TED talk podcast where Serena was interviewed about being a mom and on her recent win in Australia.…

The ‘safe space’ we actually need

I remember the first time I came across a ‘safe space’ on a college campus. While I had read and heard of these before, it felt a somewhat surreal to come across one in real life; it took seeing one in person to realize that this is something that is really happening…not just a story…
