Evelyn Rodriguez proves again why she is one of the strongest voices out there in her recap of Blogher:

We are volcanoes. All the maps change. There are new mountains.

It's taboo to talk informally, colloquially, conversationally, personally, deeply, humanely in the game called the professsional business world. Especially "not done" in public. Thank you, Jory, Koan, Ronni, and Heather for reminding me yet again of the importance of putting our selves forth as ourselves. Reminding me: I'm an advocate too. Me, I'm not compartmentalizing myself. I'm bringing forth my whole self to business. I'm not checking any part of me at the door. (Here's my coming out post.)

I can only aspire to doing it like Evelyn.
