<\/a>One of my favorite things about what I do is when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m able to bring other women into the fold. Blogging is contagious, and it is a joy beyond measure to see feminists find their online voice. <\/p>\n

And so I am thrilled – THRILLED! – to formally introduce a new blog on the block: PursePundit<\/a>. The host pundit over there, Jacki Zehner<\/a>, is a frequent commentator on women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s success in the workplace, women and wealth, investing, and philanthropy. And she knows from whence she speaks–she was the youngest woman, and first female trader, to be invited into the partnership of Goldman Sachs. <\/p>\n

Jacki’s since been recognized not only as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wall Street Trailblazer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153next-generation role model\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for women navigating the complex constellation of work, family, civic service, and social activism. Jacki\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work is informed by her own journey from humble beginnings to Wall Street success. She learned early on the power of the dollar working as a cashier in her father\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s grocery store. An impassioned philanthropic visionary committed to the economic empowerment of women, she now serves on the boards of The Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Funding Network, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The Center for Work Life Policy, and more. I met Jacki when she was on the board of the National Council for Research on Women<\/a>, where I used to work.<\/p>\n

Like me, the gal\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a bridger. These days, through multiple platforms, Jacki leverages her access and expertise by bridging knowledge across corporate, philanthropic, and nonprofit sectors. I learn things from this wonder woman daily. Visit www.pursepundit.blogspot.com<\/a> for musings on “markets, money, and changing the world” <\/a>and I guarantee, you’ll learn from her too. <\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m equally thrilled to announce that Girl with Pen (aka me) and PursePundit<\/a> will be teaming up on a number of projects around women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s economic empowerment and financial literacy this year. Our first collaboration has been a series of posts on the crazy market events of the past week, over in the Business section at Huffington Post. In case ya missed them, they are here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>. More on our emerging partnership, soon. In the meantime, please help me welcome my new favorite blogger friend, a woman who inspires the heck out of me and has one of the largest hearts of anyone I know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
