Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a great week-end! It is snowy, wet and downright yucky in the Northeast, but the sun is out today, thank God! We’re in the throes of potty training our last one, and had to host an impromptu sleep-over last night (read noise, more noise, and even more noise), which definitely confirmed we are officially not seeking a larger family. As I’m struggling to differentiate my own thoughts from “hide-and-seek” screams, here is my weekly(noisy) news update:

• Last Monday, we celebrated MLK Day, and Apple honored Dr. King, its CEO’s hero, in a beautiful way, yet Fortune reveals its employees didn’t get the day off (and they’re not the only ones). After all, shouldn’t more companies observe MLK Day?;
• Speaking of MLK Day, Pop Sugar had an amazing report on how Oprah Winfrey and the stars of Selma celebrated MLK Day in a major way (by the way, read my review here);
• In other important news, the State of the Union this week had the middle class in mind (and we’re glad it did). CNN Money summarizes a few points we need to know;
• This week, women’s rights were definitely vindicated as we witnessed the GOP women take down their own party’s 20-week abortion ban bill, as reported by Slate;
• Her Agenda introduced Teresa C. Younger, new CEO of the Ms. Foundation, and pioneer of the women’s rights movement (very inspiring read), while revealing millenials stay at a job less than three years;

• In not so positive news, ThinkProgress broke the news this week about McDonald being sued for sexual and racial harassment allegations;

• New job? GM’s CEO Mary Barra gives you tips in Fortune MPW on your first 90 days on the job;
• Another first for women in leadership, as The Economist appoints its first female editor-in-chief editor, ever!
• I’ll finish this weekly news update with a hooray for Tupperware CEO Rick Goings, who just gained about a million brownie points from women all over, when he proudly declared “It’s a ridiculous economic decision not to empower women’! Yasssss!

On this newsworthy note, have yourself a ridiculously happy Sunday, and as always, thanks for reading!
