Woman to Woman

Never underestimate the power of a woman with mission on her mind.  Even if that woman is Kim Kardashian West.  Especially if that woman is Kim Kardashian West.

KKW has gotten a bad rap over the years.  Dismissed as a flimsy (or floozy) reality star, West has so much more to offer.  The daughter of a brilliant lawyer and an equally brilliant organizer, she seems to have inherited a generous helping of both talents.

After hearing about Alice Johnson’s life sentence for non-violent, drug-related crimes, West tweeted her outrage.  She later followed it up with a woman-to-woman call to Ivanka Trump.  One thing led to another, and West ended up in the Oval Office last week. 

KKW pleaded Johnson’s case directly to President Trump, who then commuted the life sentence.  Johnson was finally set free, after spending more than two decades behind bars.

Both women feel there is so much more to do.  KKW intends to continue such heartfelt work, and Johnson recently stated:  “’Thank you’ is not big enough…  I have to walk my ‘thank you’ out.  I have to live it out…” 

And now she can do so freely, thanks to some hefty doses of female initiative.
