#LeadershipTuesdays: Playing For The Long Term...Mellody Hobson

"Too often people can only see the surface and not the possibility that lives beneath the surface.

Imagine a society in which we all thought that of each other. Where every one had the benefit and none of the doubt."


--Mellody Hobson, President, Ariel Investments







On Tuesdays, womenatliberty.com presents #LeadershipTuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage and strengthen women leaders. As we continue to celebrate Black History Month and #BlackExcellence, we remember the struggle and persistence of our ancestors who with tenacity and vision saw and fought for a better tomorrow. 

Today, we lift up the words of Mellody Hobson who has been resolute in her efforts to champion diversity, equality and equity in every aspect of American life. As someone from humble beginnings, who has excelled to the highest levels of leadership and sat at tables where she had both power and influence, we honor her integrity and voice in this critical time in US history.

#LeadershipTuesdays: Problems Have To Be Solved...Mary Barra

"The biggest lesson I learned, and I take it to everything I tackle now, large or small, inside of work and outside: If you have a problem, you've got to solve it. Because that problem is going to get bigger in six months. It could get bigger in two years. But it's not going to get smaller with time." 

––Mary Barra, CEO, General Motors

A Lesson Without Words…Dolores Huerta

“My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that's an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.”

—Dolores Huerta, Labor Leader and Civil Rights Activist 


Dolores Huerta is the originator of the phrase, "Sí, se puede"! (Spanish for "Yes, it is possible")

Making A Difference...Dr. Antonia C. Novello

I want to be able to look back someday and say, "I did make a difference." Whether is was to open the minds of people to think that a woman can do a good job, or whether it's the fact that so many kids out there think that they could be like me.

--Antonia Novello, 14th Surgeon General of the United States; first woman and first hispanic to become surgeon general of the U.S.
