Michele A. Roberts, a lawyer in Washington, will become the first woman to lead a major North American professional sports union (the NBA). Some inspiring quotes:
“I bet you can tell I’m a woman, and I suspect the rest of the world can, too. My past is littered with the bones of men who were foolish enough to think I was someone they could sleep on.”
“I don’t live my life saying, ‘What ceiling am I going to crack tomorrow?’ What I have done, and what I tell my nieces to do, is not to worry about whether you’re the only one, but worry about whether you’re the best one.”
