Women + Humor = Change

I knew my first post would need to be something unique in order to simply communicate my blog initiative and the passion behind it. Then I thought about Liza Donnelly, and I knew I was set.

Liza Donnelly is one of my favorite artist/cartoonist from the New Yorker. She is mainly known for the sarcastic nature in which she portrays the cultural rules and life messages targeted towards the traditional woman. Here's an example...

During a recent TED conference Liza explained the inspiration behind her most recent work. She has teamed up with other female cartoonist around the world for one mission: use humor to spark initiative and empower women to change rules.

Here is her short TED video which sums it up quite nicely:

Liza's statement may be no secret but the incentive behind it is unique: 

"Fear... is a great motivator." ...when initiating change.  

Thank you Liza, for enabling us to welcome fear and initiate change through your art.
