Despite all the above, Dr. Deshonna Collier-Goubil and Dr. Nancy Wang Yuen summoned the strength of will and the strategies that working mothers everywhere utilize to survive and thrive amid the chaos of personal and professional demands, culminating in the writing and editing of Power Women: Stories of Motherhood, Faith, and the Academy.
