Our Guest: Catherine Manfre is a business and strategy advisor and consultant with an MBA from the University of Virginia, Darden School of Business and a Bachelor of Arts in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies from New York University. She has advised private and public sector organizations on a range of business and management challenges and is passionate about solving the hardest, most difficult problems.

She enjoys running through Rock Creek Park and spending every minute she can with her incredible daughter and husband.

The Book: Not There Yet - September 11th, January 25th, and January 6th.
No one knows a date will become shorthand for a world-changing event when they are brushing their teeth and getting ready for their day.

Barely a teenager on 9/11, Catherine explores her journey from small-town Florida to Cairo, Egypt and back, an unexpected road that put her in a country navigating a decision about which direction it would take.

Catherine talks about her perspective on the events leading up to the Egyptian revolution in 2011, the exhaust of hope, fear, and uncertainty it left behind. She also explores how current day America can learn from the events in Egypt, appreciate and protect our democracy, and work to extend those benefits more equitably.

She also fell in love. And met the man that would become her husband.
