Amani Jambhekar Poem
I heard women have ruined the workplace,
By showing what it means to lead with grace.
We still make far less money than men,
Yet have more sway with the sword and pen.
We ruined the meetings, made them an email,
We worked together to succeed, not fail.
Held men accountable for their actions,
Came here to work, not to be distractions.
We ruined inappropriate chatter,
Modeled respect - the heart of the matter.
We led with patience and confidence,
Showed that true leaders use evidence.
We ruined the workplace to include us.
Now when men react, they cannot make a fuss.
They have to treat us like we’re humans too -
The horror, the shock, the rumors were true.
We ruined the long-standing lack of empathy,
Replaced it with compassion and transparency.
We listened and mentored, made people feel heard,
A shift in the mindset - and progress occurred.
We ruined the toxic culture which isn’t fair,
Moving the needle for redemption and repair.
Call it destruction or a needed rebirth,
We ruined the workplace by knowing our worth.

Amani Jambhekar Poem
One hundred years ago, she wouldn’t live,
Science and research back then did not give,
Her a fighting chance against her cancer,
Today she swings past it, a smooth dancer.
Her grandmother died at just thirty-three,
From her pain and suffering she was free,
Her daughter grew up without a mother,
Her only memories from her brother.
Our learning and research have come so far,
Survival no longer a distant star,
Life after cancer went from months to years,
The quality improved with fewer fears.
She traveled in time to see her nan,
And thank her for today’s treatment plan,
And all the women who died too young,
Their strength and courage should still be sung.
The past's women knew their lives would be short,
Joined clinical trials for support,
They knew they wouldn’t have much to gain,
A sliver of hope, maybe less pain.
They are the reasons survival is good,
Women now live from cancer as they should,
Back then science meant well respected fact,
Due to progress, lives today are intact.

The clinic is closed,
The doctors have left the state,
The patients still wait.

The snow is silent
The waiting room is empty,
Crash in the ER
