Happy Halloween everyone!
I agree with Sable and Kelly. I enjoyed Jerri Bird but it was hard for me to follow her. I did enjoy her talking about her experiences living in the middle east. It is so cool that she has lived in or visited every Middle Eastern country except for 2. My grandparents travel all the time all over the world and it is great to hear their stories. I think its great that Jerry Bird is doing a lot to help the women over there. I found it very interesting the stories she heard from these women, esp their thoughts on American women. Its fun to have these women speakers come in and tell us their stories. This way we can hear experiences women have in leadership and we can learn from them.

In addition Jerry bird brought up a great point about women around the world. Some things are a big deal to those women for certain reasons and other things are not a big deal. For example, the vail, we see as oppressive and a big deal. But women there just see it as a way to cover themselves up properly so they dont draw attention to themselves and seem too permiscuous. However, women here do not see the media portraying them as sex objects as a big deal. So not only can Jerry help women in the middle east, but she can help American women and women around the world. More women need to grasp the concept of diversity like Jerry has and share that with women around the world to help women walk a mile in other womens shoes. It is a work in progress, but with strong communication technology, I believe we will get there eventually.
