    We have a special live episode today from the Women of the World Festival. It’s a festival that Notre Dame of Maryland University puts on with a wide range of speakers and events, and last month, Quinn moderated a panel of trailblazing women in Baltimore. The panelists included Deb Tillett, the president of Emerging Technology Centers; Jamie McDonald, the founder of Generosity Inc.; Sheela Murthy, the founder of Murthy Law Firm; Dr. Leana Wen, health commissioner of Baltimore City; and Maj. Gen. Linda Singh, commander of the Maryland National Guard. These women made it clear that there is not one way to do things or to be a trailblazer.
