Shouldn't It Be Called Women's INequality Day?

Issue 239 — August 28, 2023

Last night, attending an Angel City Football Club soccer game (they won 3–1!), I had a tearing up moment chatting with a woman I happened to be standing next to. She had come down to Los Angeles from the Bay Area to bring her two elementary school aged daughters to the game. She said, “Can you imagine? We never got to see anything like this. The women’s team, owned by women, run by women, supported by so many women?”

I looked at her girls cheering away, waving their Angel City scarves, and felt so proud of how far we have come on the long road to equality.

Dreams Come True: MILCK On Her Music, Activism and Power Up Concert Performance

“I learned quickly on that my dream of being a singer wasn’t what my immigrant parents wanted for me. Making art for a living was for them not a reality-based decision,” says Connie K. Lim, whose professional name is MILCK; it’s her first two initials and her last name backwards.

But she did make her dream happen in a very big way, her using her power and voice in an enormously successful global musical career, activism and presence in the social justice equity movement and advocacy for truth and personal power. MILCK performs in person at Take The Lead’s Power Up Conference & Concert, “Lead Your Intention,” August 26 on Women’s Equality Day.

There are so many moving parts to putting on a valuable and memorable conference — and why would you do one if it weren’t valuable and meaningful? The logistics alone break my head, and there are always dozens of opinions about who to invite to speak and perform, where to have it, what to have for lunch — you name it.
