Joy on the Journey: Further, Faster, Together w/ Roxane Battle

No one succeeds alone. Period. Study after study support the notion that beyond networking, collective work and collaboration is the key to success. Where would Lucy be without Ethel? Thelma without Louise? Mary without Rhoda?  This Women’s Month, former KARE-11 TV personality and award-winning author, Roxane Battle will share personal highlights from her journey from television anchor to best-selling author. With candor, authenticity and a bit of quirky humor, Roxane talks intimately about how she found pockets of joy in the middle of chaos. Specifically, there were women in her post-television career—three of them—who helped bring calm and clarity: a stay at home mom, a business owner, and a member of an American dynasty. Each of their contributions to Roxane’s career were pivotal and life-changing. Together they represent real-life examples of how supportive, well-intentioned and perfectly-timed collaborations can help us as women go further, faster together and in the process, discover joy on the journey. Come be a part of the conversation, give a shout out to your sheroes and share your thoughts on how we as women can foster more positive connections, especially when chaos hits! Ticket price includes a copy of Roxane’s award-winning and best-selling memoir, “Pockets of Joy: Deciding to Be Happy, Choosing to Be Free.” (Whitaker House 2017).
