- Business
I've spent a career getting into people's heads, as a writer, a strategist, and a natural empathisizer to, well, basically everyone and everything. If I can say I've gained one thing it's that I've met a lot of really smart, clever, ingenious women who've accomplished a lot in their careers, but usually it's through a story that's even more interesting, inspiring and compelling. These are the women I know you'll want to meet. The women who, with humor, grace and a great deal of knowing see the world and work in the world creating profound change, big and small. These are the women you wanna know. Really. Just listen.

Raquel Rosenblatt
Raquel Rosenblatt is deceptive. Unassuming, deferential and kind to almost a fault, one would never suspect that under such an approachable veneer lives a powerhouse of a success story.
