第2章

Inspiration allows thirty exceptional people to tell their unique stories. Each of these women takes us on her life journey, describing the people, the teachings and the circumstances that shaped her. We see the role that family, culture, community and mentorship play, as well as the influence of dreams, ambitions and ideas.

These women have achieved extraordinary success, sometimes in the face of seemingly insurmountable circumstances. Even more important, each one has attributes of character — integrity, courage, energy, commitment, faith, drive — that illustrate how talent and character come together to create a rich and fulfilling life. The results are astonishing: world-class music, magnificent works of art and prosperous, expanding companies.

I am delighted that Morgan Stanley Smith Barney has been able to play a small role in making this project a reality, and I hope you enjoy and find inspiration in these stories.

Andy Saperstein,

Managing Director, Head of Wealth Management Group

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney

For my Inspirations and the Loves of my Life:

My parents, Thelma and Magellan: you got all the important things right.

My children, Cole and Ella: you give meaning and joy to it all.

My sister, Ruthie: you make sense of it all.

My man, Raymond: you make it all worthwhile.
