My sister-in-law is a remarkable woman. I've always known that. I'd love her secret for fitting 90 hours into a day, doing all kinds of hard work, traveling for the company, doing community service and still managing to be one of the world's best moms and wives. I admire her beyond words.
She is now receiving some of the recognition she so justly deserves in her professional life, so excuse me if I brag a little about my sister-in-law, a great role model for young women everywhere. Maybe the rest of us can't live up to her incredible standard, but she makes one thing clear with her life: Anything is possible.
You can see Irene here on the cover of Women of Color magazine, and you can read about her inside at page 28. And yeah, that's my brother pictured with her at the bottom of page 29. I love them both to death, but Irene just takes my breath away.

And the story starts at page 28, for those who want the details.
Yeah, I'm proud to know her. Thanks for letting me brag.
