Empowered and inspired after attending an incredible women's leadership breakfast this morning. Surrounded by dynamic and accomplished women, I took away valuable insights on leadership, resilience, and lifting each other up. Grateful for moments like these! Here's to embracing our strengths, supporting one another, and making a positive impact in our spheres of influence. 💪🙌 #womenleaders #Empowerment #LeadershipJourney What do you want to leave behind?

E.L.F. BEAUTY is genuinely changing the Board game. Their new campaign highlights how many publicly traded companies LACK women and diversity on their Board of Directors. The stats are startling: • Women make up only 27% of US corporate boards • The average US corporate board is 88% white • There are 2x more men named Dick than Hispanic women. • Black women and Asian women barely outnumber men named Dick. • There are 19x more men named Dick than women of Middle Eastern descent. • There are only 3 Native American women serving on these boards. E.L.F.'s "So Many Dicks" campaign is proving that diverse Boards create profitability for everyone. https://lnkd.in/eiYupqb3

This panel was AMAZING. Some big pieces I took out of this: 1. 60% of DEI roles are held by white women - diversity does not end at gender. Hiring on white women for your corporate team does not make your team diverse. bias is just as much about who you help as it is who you hurt. 2. CSR’s main KPI’s should be the efficacy with which their campaigns address real problems; not the marketability of those actions. Asya Hill was sending absolute HEAT on this subject 👏🏻🙌🏻 3. WHY COLUMBUS-ING: black and brown folks built this industry from pre prohibition to our current day. White people with capitol swept in to “discover and perfect” this “brand new” industrial opportunity and are severely limiting their feedback from POC by not including them in their corporate structures. The entire panel was filled with actionable items for attendees and valuable insight at how you can not only make your company more equitable for people of color- but how to make your company a safe place for them to express their opinions in the first place. Thought provoking af y’all 💓 huge thank you to Black CannaBusiness expo for putting on these valuable panels!

Thanks to the generous support of our community, Boss Women Matter (BWM) Round Table Talks have become a vital resource for Black women founders in Chicagoland. These open dialogues are a lifeline for Black women founders and serve as a cornerstone for community building, policy advocacy, and capacity building. While substantial progress has been made, the journey to economic equality for Black women founders remains challenging. Despite persistent systemic funding disparities to underrepresentation, our expanding community of founders is steadfast in their commitment to overcoming these barriers and creating a more equitable economic landscape.   Never before has our work been more critical. By dismantling these obstacles, we not only empower individuals but also uplift entire communities. Each Black woman founder supported is a beacon of hope, illuminating a brighter future for us all.   So today we invite you to make an impact with a powerful statement of support. Your contribution will not only help us expand our Round Table Talks, but provide mentorship, and advocate for policies. Together, we can empower the next generation of Black women entrepreneurial leaders. Will you join us in creating a brighter future?

I come from an industry that is predominantly powered by #women However, even today, most industries are dominated by men. In 2022, #data collected from the International Labour Organization concluded that, out of 180 countries - the #unitedstates ranks number 71 for % of women in the workforce. The percentage of women in the #workforce in the U.S is 46.38% Women remain #underrepresented at all levels, in most industries. However, know that when you call 9-1-1 it’s likely that the #hero under the headset is a #strong , #brave , #courageous #female According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report in 2021 - 74% if 911 operators are women. “People need to see leaders who look like themselves, to understand that it’s possible for them.” Happy #womenshistorymonth #womenempowerment #womenchangemakers #genderequality #911dispatch #911dispatcher #dispatchers #publicsafety #publicsector #everydayheroes
