Keb' Mo' says "Put A Woman in Charge’is about trying something else. There have been a lot of great achievements made by men or by the masculine,but maybe,just maybe,we’ve gotten too comfortable with the imbalance of men in power and have fallen short by not listening and embracing what women have to offer when they lead."
