Congratulations to Kari Watkins (Oklahoma), CEO of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum, who was named USA's Today 2025 Women of the Year! Karis message to young women is: "Well, I would say use your village. No joke. I mean, I raised two kids doing this job. My husband was incredibly supportive. My family was supportive, and my friends were, too. So some days you couldn't be there to pick up, and they were. Or you just have to help. I think for young girls, you've just got to know that there's nothing you can't do. I mean, to my daughter, I say, go, go. I mean, go try it. If you want to pull back, you can always pull back. Give it your very best every day, and make a difference because you only get one shot. And so we got one shot to do the memorial right. It started well. We've got to carry it to the, you know, we've just got to keep passing it through the generations. So for everyone, I think we have to just make sure that everyone knows there's nothing they can't do, and it's better when we all do it together. When we work together, we meet in the middle. We're all better." Gamma Phi Beta is so proud of you, Kari! Learn more about Kari here: Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum CEO named to USA TODAY's 2025 Women of the Year (fb)
