Reigniting your spark – Meet Tiffini (12/52.2)

Meet Tiffini: ©Amy Boyle Photography 2019 In her own words… “I go everywhere I am invited. I take pictures and film everything – publishing them all over social media. The people love it! I produce commercials and promotional videos, while also venturing into advertisement ads for my pastor’s Facebook and Instagram church pages. I re-enrolled in school after a 19 year break and changed my major from acting to TV directing and producing. I could only afford to go that one seme

Meet Kim- In her own words—- ©Amy Boyle Photography 2019 “I am passionate about the education of African American children and specifically the improvement of literacy among African American boys in the fourth grade.

How suite it is – Meet Jen of (9/52.2)

Meet Jen – In her own words – “My kids get so annoyed every time I do it, but there is nothing better than driving toward the city on Lake Shore Drive on a crystal clear Chicago night, holding up my arms with our incredible skyline in between my hands, and telling them how lucky I feel to sell this city every day. I own Suite Home Chicago and my job is to help those in transition, whether it be during a relocation, a home displacement, or maybe an extended project or TV show

Making NOW the right time – Meet Kate (8/52.2)

Meet Kate: In her own words – A journey of a thousand miles (or in my case, 140.6) begins with one step. ©Amy Boyle Photography 2019 “I’ve wanted to complete an Ironman for several years, but as a working mom, it seemed difficult to fit it in. Conquering the laundry seemed enough to tackle, rather than layering in an event that consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and full marathon. I have completed several smaller triathlons, but Ironman represents the pinnacle of end

Inspiration is our why – Meet Melissa and Brittany (5/52.2)

Meet Melissa and Brittany: We need to understand that there is no formula for how women should lead our lives. That is why we must respect the choices that each woman makes for herself and her family.” – Hilary Rodham Clinton ©Amy Boyle Photography 2019 “A little over a year ago, my best friend and colleague, Melissa and I were commuting home together and using our carpool commute to decompress after a long day.

Meet Becky: In her own words… ©Amy Boyle Photography 2019 “Whenever I am asked why I do what I do, I say the journey that began as a child. I grew up in the projects – Washington Park Homes – in a home where alcoholism and domestic violence were common. I am the second of seven children. My mom was the best I could ever ask for. She made the best out of the worst situation. This environment’s normal was almost daily gunshots. We were located right between two rival gang m

I am the middle daughter in a family of 5 girls, raised in the 50’s and 60’s. That “middle-ness” is a part of who I am. Comfort and stability are there – in the middle of a group; preferably a group of women. The occasional snags notwithstanding, I love being in the middle. And Joining is what gets me there.

I was going through life on autopilot, eating what I wanted without much thought. I had a relatively high metabolism as a kid and grew up in the 80s so indulged in lots of sugar, particularly of the Hostess variety (Ding Dongs, anyone?). But from the time I can remember, I always had issues with my gut. I distinctly recall my dad ha

Meet Tamara: In her own words… “I have always been a caregiver at heart and have always enjoyed helping those that aren’t able to help themselves. That’s why I became a registered nurse and that’s why I chose to start my career working on the frontlines of the AIDS crisis. There was so much need for nurses and so few willing to do the work. My mother– also a nurse– taught me that if someone needs help, you help them. After two years of rewarding work with people with AIDS, I

It all began with a tv show and a movie star but, it was deeper than that for me. Most girls in my generation grew up playing with Barbie dolls and dressed up as a princess waiting for her prince to come. Not me. I grew up playing with chickens and horses.

And I would ask myself: Does “what” I am ultimately define “who” I am? As I grew older I figured
