Creator and Host Deb Ruggiero
I started this radio show (now a podcast) in 2004 to highlight the accomplishments of so many women (unsung heroes) who make a difference in our communities. These stories of women in business, the arts, policy, or education, never get old and continue to inspire and motivate. My signature has been ending each show with quote. In the words of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “Keep it Tight, Get it Right”.
