A New Kind of Leadership

"I've never seen such leadership," Oprah Winfrey said during a speech at the Women in the World summit in New York City, according to The New Zealand Herald. "The prime minister is a woman who has such courage in her convictions and has set a global standard for leadership with her response."

"Fifty murders could have brought even more destruction but instead led to a portrait of the Prime Minister displayed across Dubai's tallest building with the word 'peace' shining above it,” she continued.

As long as strong hierarchy supporters run the United States, we will not be able to challenge the leadership by white men who want to have guns most everywhere in our society. White men (we mostly see white, heterosexual, able-bodied, native-born, cis-gendered men at the gun shows) are very used to controlling how and where they desire, and guns appear to be a big part of their scheme.
