LADYDRINKS PRIVATE TOUR OF THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS OF ‘WOMEN-ONLY ARTISTS'

On background, I'm a long time television anchor in New York. My beat was business news and I covered the markets from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for 17 years for CNN, Bloomberg, ABC, CBS and NY1.Seven years ago, I started the Women's Leadership Academy, a networking platform.  I did it because it’s just really hard --as women-- to find a support system that’s multi-faceted, one that can be a sounding board, both professionally and personally, and also can be funding resource.With the Women's Leadership Academy, I host events twice a month giving women--especially South Asian women----that kind of support system. It gives them community and resources, and the support of like-minded women. My five year goal is host events in every major city of the world and be a wonderful resource to the 1500 women currently in my membership. My website iswww.ladydrinks.com
