On This Day In Women’s History:
March 27, 1897: Effa Manley was born.
Effa Manley, co-owner and manager with husband Abe of the Negro League baseball team the Brooklyn Eagles (1935-46), supported integration with the NAACP, and worked hard to get Negro League players included in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Laura Belgray: Embracing Unconventional Paths
Laura Belgray, the creative force behind Talking Shrimp, co-founder of The Copy Cure, and author of the National Bestseller, “Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You’re the F’ing Worst,” shares her journey of bold choices and invaluable insights.
At 40, Laura faced a pivotal moment when her biggest client parted ways with her. This prompted her to leap into the online sphere, where she discovered the importance of charting her course without conforming to societal norms.
Reflecting on her experiences, Laura emphasizes the danger of falling into the comparison trap, particularly in today's social media-driven culture. She urges listeners to evaluate their achievements without comparing them to others, recognizing that everyone's journey is unique.
Laura candidly discusses her childhood struggles with self-acceptance, shaped by experiences of bullying. She highlights the transformative power of overcoming fear and embracing authenticity.
Embracing the late-bloomer narrative, Laura inspires others to view delayed success as a superpower, offering hope and encouragement to those on similar paths. She underscores the importance of continuous growth and potential, reminding us that our best days may still lie ahead.
