A First Times Two!

Not only is Ursula M. Burns' story a classic American story, but as she transitions into the position of CEO of Xerox she will be the first African-American woman to be at the top of a Fortune 150 company. But wait! That's not all! She's also the first woman to succeed another woman as CEO of a company of this size. Yes, it's mid-2009 and we are just now seeing this type of transition.

Congrats to Ursula on her promotion, and I wish her lots of luck in taking over the reins in this time of economic uncertainty. And here's to two more barriers broken!

The AWEARNESS Blog provides daily updates under four socially-aware pillars of discussion: Social Rights, Well-Being, Political Landscape and Hard Times. This blog hopes to raise awareness around the issues that fall under these four areas in a dynamic and engaging format. In addition to regularly updated news and commentary under these topics, the blog also includes Q&As, original content from Kenneth Cole himself and contributions from staff members of Kenneth Cole Productions. There's a lot to delve into so we suggest you stop reading this boring intro stuff and get involved.
