“Every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others might not see you, simply because they’ve never seen it before. And we will applaud you every step of the way.” — Kamala Harris, Vice-President, United States of America
CHANGING A GENERATION
DALLAS — Given the remarkably brilliant strides she has made throughout the years in her chosen profession, it’s safe to assume Joie Rasberry’s life-altering defining moment unfolded sometime during her college undergraduate days.
“Competing in college with the Texas Southern University Speech and Debate Team and winning internationally prepared me to both win and compete on and off the stage,” Rasberry told Making Headline News this week. “Walking in rooms with people who are a different color, gender, and social economic status has prepared me to hone my own genius so that when I am at a negotiating table, those who are listening will know that I belong there.”
Indeed, she does.
Is it, in fact, due in large part to the poise, perseverance, and resilience Rasberry has demonstrated in her notable line of work that, much to her delight, have equipped her mightily to function in her featured endeavor.
