Sharon and Mary’s Voices: Sisterhood—The Journey

Abstract

While others talk about what influenced their individual lives, we are offering the way our lives interlaced so, that there was a professional and personal confluence measured by all that we endeavored throughout the years, beginning in 1992. We feel that our story should begin with the serendipitous event that brought us together and lead you through all that we discovered along the way. In the telling of our journey, we share our insights into perspectives of an odyssey that resulted in a lasting collaboration and friendship.

“Just hearing someone else’s story can open one’s imagination or reveal a new perspective.”

—Wenger, Trayner, and de Laat
