Introduction	Welcome. My new blog is named simply “DVS2.” My Mom is Dorothy Vickers-Shelley (as in “DVS1”), and much of what I’ll share and write about will include many of the cool and interesting things she and my Dad, Clarence Shelley, have brought and continue to bring into my life. So stay tuned over the weeks ahead for upcoming posts on a range of FASCINATING (according to me) issues such as: “Mile High Musings” -- Dispatches from Denver during the 2008 Democratic National Convention; “Have Tote Bag Will Lead” --Empowering women professionals and leaders; “Lift Ev’ry Voice” – Why vote? Why you must speak up for what you believe in – and then do something about it; “Make it Work” – Fashion sightings and citations; “Si Se Puede” – What people of color can accomplish when we come together. And more to come…the conversation starts here.
