“Why I am proudly casting a vote for Kamala Harris”
That said, this post is NOT:
- an attempt to influence anyone's vote. At this point, most of us have likely made our decisions. Rather, this is simply my personal reflection.
- to “other” anyone or to add to any type of division. We are all in this together, regardless of our political perspectives.

"Radical Business” and Radical Gaines reflect my drive to explore core truths. In examining everything from workplace conflicts to political views, from spiritual beliefs to ethical frameworks in social enterprise, I've consistently sought to understand the fundamental principles that shape my beliefs and define the principles of my work.
When addressing complex issues, especially in politics, we often lose sight of core truths amid partisan noise. I try to maintain this same commitment to fundamental truths when approaching politics.
One such truth I've discovered: effective leadership, whether in business or politics, requires balancing traditionally masculine and feminine energies. This isn't about sexuality - it's about combining complementary strengths of competition with collaboration, decisive action with inclusive care.
One of the core ideas from Radical Business is the pending shift away from traditional economic models built on a scarcity mindset characterized by dominance, competition, and win-lose scenarios. This traditional approach is being challenged by an abundance mindset that emphasizes care for all stakeholders. While business has traditionally favored masculine approaches, our greatest challenges require a balance of both firmness and empathy.
This all leads to my excitement to cast my vote for Kamala. She embodies this balance - showing strength in prosecution and foreign policy while maintaining a commitment to unity and collective care. I am so tired of the casual hate and division we feel when we disagree with one another. To quote Abraham Lincoln, the inspiration for my youngest son’s name, “We are not enemies, but friends.” Rather than "Make America Great Again," I envision making America great for everyone, for the first time. Harris represents this potential for balanced leadership that could help heal and unite our nation.
God Bless America!
