Speak Woman!


Her name is Gulshan.  We hired this young financial Subject Matter Expert to work the Gender portfolio at the Ministry.  She is a smart, Indian educated Afghan woman with something to prove in this male dominated world.  At the first formal quarterly budget review of the year, she was selected to brief the status of “Gender” salaries and investments.  This was a first as no woman had ever briefed at a Two-star level forum.  She came to the head of the table, sat down and began rattling off numbers and her assessment of the state of the high profile program, making eye contact with the General and the other Colonels gathered around the table. Her voice was firm and her words knowledgeable and authoritative.  Gulshan hit it out of the park!   A great day, and a phenomenal start for the next generation.
