Maureen Electa Monte and I go … way back! When she was an engineer and doing photography, she photographed our first Portraits of cystic fibrosis black and white calendar in 2003. The wives of the Detroit Tigers, pretty much all of them pregnant, played in our first celebrity softball game. They played against law enforcement at a ballpark in Sterling Heights. Years ago when she was working at IBM she was the Engineer of the Year, she was a multi-sport athlete and MVP of her basketball team.
Since then, Maureen has grown her personal brand and is an author. Her first book, Destination Unstoppable, is fabulous. It teaches the reader how to be a successful team player. As Maureen knows, as I have told her for years, if she could get in a room with the Detroit Lions, they would get to the Super Bowl and win.
In her next book, Win like a Girl, Maureen talks about the framework needed to help coaches and parents develop powerful girls who can overcome adversity and expand their comfort zone. The book’s message is powerful and empowering for everyone, including the CF world. As parents and persons with CF, we must always advocate for ourselves and the ones we love.
