So what if you’re a tomboy who can play with the big boys? As the late, great James Brown once screamed, “This is a man’s world,” so the ladies need to have each other’s backs. Simone Kelly-Brown, president and CEO of Gots to Have It Marketing, has created a venue for people with two X chromosomes to meet, share ideas, and pick each other’s brains. It’s called Give ´N Take, and the concept is simple: You give resources or connections and then take the same from other women. So, you ask, how does this go down without any bitch fits? Each woman has an index card where she writes what she wants to “give” on one side and then what she wants to “take” on the other. And plenty of backs are scratched, bridges are built, jobs are found, and cosmos are conquered.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
