What if you heard of a woman who grew up in a public housing project in Philadelphia, surrounded by teen mothers and gang violence, herself the product of a single-parent family dependent on welfare?

What if you heard about another woman, who enjoyed all the privileges of an exclusive finishing school followed by an Ivy League university and an exciting career, first in law and then in journalism?

What if I told you that both of those women are Dawn Rivers Baker?

That's how my official business bio starts, and that's as much of it as I'll include here. For the rest, I'll just say that I'm a journalist, publisher and small business advocate ... and I'm making a name for myself.

In addition to my blogs, I publish two newsletters (The MicroEnterprise Journal and the Microbusiness News Briefs) and one podcast.

In the rest of my life, I'm a mom of four, married to the same guy for more than 20 years (gotta pat myself on the back for that one), lover of music and movement and silence.
