Nina uses the term “differently abled” which isn’t widely accepted in the disability community. My apologies for anyone this offends as we all strive to learn and do better.

And quite frankly, women in business have better things to do with their time, energy and brain power than obsess about whether they deserve a Tim Tam with their afternoon cup of tea.”
