TBW Guest Madonna Hanna on Creating a Culture of Civility and Success

  1. TBW Guest Madonna Hanna on Creating a Culture of Civility and Success twoboomerwomen 1:12:55

Growing up in the conservative Boston area, Madonna Hanna was usually only one of a handful of children of colour in her schools. She was bullied and discounted and her experiences both as a child and as an adult gave her both “thick skin” and a lot of resilience.

On numerous occasions, Madonna “took the high road” because to respond or react, would only sink her to the same level as her antagonists.  She led by example both in the east coast fashion business and as a teacher on the west coast.

Most people would find that more than enough to define their life’s work but Madonna added athlete, widowhood and acting to her repertoire.

Madonna shares all with deep thought combined with great wit and much humour.

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.

My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
