True confession — I went through most of my career without thinking about why and how I should be building wealth for my own life and my children.

But now I’m at a stage of life where it would be really nice to have been more intentional about my finances.
Does this sound like you? Are you more astute than me and looking to grow your wealth, but not sure how? Are you unsure about your financial goals but want to learn from and be inspired by women who can provide the insights you need?

Read More“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.
