Women you haven’t heard of but should know about: Kathy Eldon

5 April 2007

The last woman in the list of amazing women is Kathy Eldon. In 1993 her son while on assignment in Somalia from Reuters, was stoned to death. I can’t imagine losing a child, let alone losing them in such a barbaric act.  She took her grief & turned it into something amazing. Eldon & her daughter created a company called Creative Visions Foundation which has been featured on Oprah.  The organization tries to cultivate "creative activists" to create positive action in the world through the use of the arts & technology. You know what I say, if it’s good enough for Oprah it’s good enough for me.
