"Let's do something to show how magical every woman is, no matter her job, shape, or handicap." That's how this whole thing got started. Portia and I were power-lunching in the Village as she described her ultimate idea - so fresh, it didn't even have a name. It was just a concept. A network. A way that women could inspire each each other, via our stories, experiences, and resources.
We started feeding off each others ideas until we pulled together something cohesive. A website, geared for New York City women - but, relevant to every woman, that would show off our many different lives, cultures, and passions.
And just like that, the ball got rolling.
We got in contact with long-lost friends and people we've only read about, everyoe being all-too-eager to sign on and give us their time. We came up with a name, ShesSoNewYork.com. And then, a staff. A street team. A photographer. Established actors, dancers, and other professionals. All of them, willing to give a part of themselves, with the hope that someone else could do something good with it.
By compiling articles, stories from real women from every burough, interviews from accomplished professionals, tips on how to get the most out of your life - no matter who you are or what you've got, and little antedotes here and there to make the day go by, ShesSoNewYork.com is going to fill a gap for the real, every day woman that's been vacant for far too long.
While you're reading this, Portia, myself, along w/ the rest of the SSNY staff are hard at work, getting ready for our late-summer launch. Consider this our home-away-from-home until then. We'll be using this blog to give you up-to-date information on what we're working on and how you can be a part of it!
In the mean time, please feel free to contact myself, Portia, or anyone in the ShesSoNewYork.com family. We're open to all ideas and suggestions. As of yet, we've got a great staff and street team, ready to get to work. All we need are a few good women!
