I often get inspiration for a new show from the one prior. The Superwoman Syndrome was given birth from a previous show where the conversation turned to "what defines a strong women" and "do men really want a strong women"? So I ask the question... "do men really want an aggressive, opinionated, driven woman who can hold it down at work and at home"? You know who she is... she cooks, cleans, pays the bills, takes care of herself and often times the kids and a husband. She oversees the home, plans fabulous trips, rolls with an amazing crew, and is moving up the corporate ladder, making her own way as an entrepreneur or better still... doing BOTH! But, her love life may be suffering as a result of her independence and strength. Her husband says she’s a workaholic, selfish and neglecting him. Her boyfriend says he isn’t a priority and he is tired of coming in second to her ambition and goals. So, what’s a woman to do? Should we work less and give more time to our personal lives? Or, should we continue to follow our passions knowing full well our hobbies, outside interests, and our relationships with family, friends, and those we hold dear may be in jeopardy? My superwomen guests who will help me navigate through this discussion will be: Alisa Chavis-Joseph: A wife and mother, Alisa also plays in the big pond as the VP of African-America Segment Marketing for WACHOVIA Bank. Alisa is responsible for strategic development and tactical execution of regional and national marketing and advertising programs directed toward the African American segment. Duties include agency management, integration of marketing strategy with Lines of Business, creative development including design and production of media elements to increase brand awareness and acquisition, strategic alliances with media partners, sponsorship development and review and business development specifically directed toward account acquisition. She also serves as a consultant to key business units, working to integrate line of business promotions with strategies to reach target segment. Needless to say she is a very busy Superwoman and has lots to say about the expectations placed on women and the reality of "having it all". My other Superwoman is Ginger Latte: Ginger is local to the DC Metro area where she is the publisher of "Girls Just Wanna Have Funds" and Meetup Organizer of the same name. She is married to a wonderful man who allows her to chase her dreams while still being the wife and women she aspires to be. No children yet, as they are both recovering academics who are taking this time to cherish each other before bringing children into the picture. Ginger's company, Girls Just Wanna Have Funds is for the woman that wants to take charge of her life in every way that it relates to money, health care, childcare issues, feminism, education and career. These are women who are in control of their destinies and not afraid to say it. They are armed with a vision while breaking glass ceilings ceilings one stiletto at a time! Ginger is a young, ambitious Superwoman who is setting the trend for the next generation of young women. Here what these two superwoman have to say about The Superwoman Syndrome and let's see if we can get to the bottom of the age old question "can women really have it all"?
