Permission To Be PowHERful

    Beautifully expressed! While we may have ownership in our area of work, we never have exclusive ownership of the work as a whole.For the work of creation is essentially collaborative. It cannot be done without the contribution of many people. Our piece needs to fit with other pieces or the integrity of the whole will be compromised.
