SmartHERNews

A familiar quote helped inspire a new member of our SmartHER News family - SCOOP members get an exclusive "introduction." . The famous saying also resonates this week as we reflect on two big news stories - an exclusive by The Wall Street Journal on new revelations about the pandemic (and the waterfall of words from U.S. officials on China) as well as a new policy penned by the Biden Administration proposed for the U.S. Southern border. Both stories raise the question: Why now? What's at stake? Plus a personal reflection about entrepreneurship. We look forward to your thoughts on a recent chapter in the adventures of becoming...SmartHER. .

"We just want to know the truth, and we want to know if our family is safe," explains Heather Beresford, one of four mothers who joined SmartHER News for a wide-ranging conversation from those who experienced the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, first hand. You'll hear from residents Heather, Misti, Kari, and Jess about their experiences from the night of the train derailment onwards — from scary moments, quick evacuations, and lingering concerns. Now, more than two weeks since the accident, all four have returned home but still have questions about the greater impact the derailment might continue to have on themselves, their families and their community at large. It’s a truly eye-opening conversation and provides some SmartHER lessons about what to consider in the event of a major emergency in your own hometown. .
