sweet dreams.
It is a little crazy to think that our business school experience is almost over. It has been a hectic, but fun two years. The final project for my Work-Family Balance class summed up the experience well (you can see that Blaire was the creative genius behind this):

In Honor of Mickey
Mickey Rooney passed away (1920-2014) yesterday. He starred in countless roles, but my favorite memory of him was watching Pete's Dragon as a child. He'll be missed.

Meryl & Walt
Meryl Streep’s negative comments about Walt Disney are pretty disappointing. While I deeply respect her acting ability and passion for multiple causes like feminism, she is completely off-base on this one. Are we supposed to promote advancements for women by tearing others down? Where is the class in attacking someone who has been dead for nearly 50 years?
We can’t judge people’s actions 50+ years ago on today’s realities. Does that excuse Walt of certain actions? No. Was he perfect? No. Did he make mistakes? Of course. But he also did a lot of good throughout his life.
Meryl’s inaccurate and biased comments about Walt being a gender bigot? I wonder what Mary Blair, Sylvia Holland, or Phyllis Hurrell would say? Her accusation that he was a racist? Maybe Iwao Takamoto, Tyrus Wong, or Ray Aragon would feel differently. That Walt was an anti-Semite? Enter the Sherman brothers.
Meryl should do a little more research before she makes such accusatory comments and realize effective change can happen within positive frameworks, not just negative ones.
