Book presentation: Quit Being so Good
To prepare us for International Women’s Day, hear author, teacher, and social entrepreneur Kristi Hemmer share three ways to be unapologetic.
When author Kristi Hemmer was eight, she was the Connect Four Champ; nobody wanted to play with her. When she was twelve, she was on the Future Problem Solvers of America Championship Team; Kristi was told that if she was too smart, boys wouldn’t like her. When she was thirty-three, and principal of an all-girls school, a city council member told her she was too young.
The underlying message is one that every female of every age is told again and again: You’re too much. Quit being you. Wait your turn. Be quiet. Be nice. Quit Being So Good.

Speak Biography
When Kristi Hemmer, M.Ed. was a little girl, her dream was to be President, start her own school, and write a book. Today, Kristi is President-of her own company. She started her own school-Academy for Women’s Empowerment. And her book- Quit Being So Good came out on International Women’s Day 2021. Kristi, her work, and her collective of #womenempoweringwomen are putting more women in power (and keeping them there)-because when women lead the world it is a safer and more equitable place for all.
