Today's power thought comes fromthe first black Congresswoman

and black woman to launch amajor party presidential
campaign. Shirley Chisholm. InCongress, she used her
background and knowledge tointroduce more than 50 pieces of
legislation focused on the needsof women, children, immigrants,
those with low income and peopleof color. Here's the quote: if
they don't give you a seat atthe table, bring a folding

chair. This is a gentle reminderthat we can't wait for an
invitation to claim a seat atthe table. It is our
responsibility to bring our ownchairs, bodies, and persistent
voices into the room, claimspace and add value. Your seat
is your identity and what youcare about. The table is where
decisions are made. How will youmake your presence felt in such
