Did you know that according to 2022 data, Black women typically make only 67 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men? We’re ready to bridge the gap! We’re excited to share our partnership with Fem Equity™ for the BLK Women Equal Pay Day Conference! BLK Women Equal Pay Day Conference was designed to directly address this disparity and will offer women of color valuable information on a range of relevant topics, including how to advocate for equal pay for themselves; how to scale and advance their careers; and innovating their way through a power career. This one-day public event is a jam-packed affair for Black women and other women of color who are early in their career, ready to scale their career, and/or changing careers. Programming will include interactive workshops, expert panel discussions, and networking opportunities. “This experience is designed to support and expand your network, challenge your comfort zone on your possibilities, and make you aware of opportunities you didn’t know were in reach,” says Adeola Ajani, founder of Fem Equity. We’re so honored to be the main sponsor of this incredible event focused on empowering Black women in practical ways! If you’ll be in the Baltimore, MD area on September 22nd, we encourage you to attend the event!

What do you need? This question, as simple as it is powerful, is not often asked of women of color. But the answer could be the difference between dreaming of a successful life and living one. AARP Foundation's Veronica Byrd, MS today joined Lauren W. Wilson, founder and CEO of ColorComm, Inc., for an insightful conversation to answer that question and address how women of color can take ownership of their careers.

#Day31: 🌟 What have we achieved this month? 🚀 What has been our progress: individually and collectively? 🔍 Regarding the status quo of "women's challenges," what is the strategy? 🌟 Who has the agency to turn intentions into action? Within whom is deposited accountability to ensure it's not all a bucket of words and promises that go into the bucket of "not real, real intentions"—just something nice to "support" with some posts, some events, a handful of nothing much? ❓ And how do we all allow this status quo to perpetuate? How many of the "empowered ones" are really supporting others in need? 🔍 For me, the month ends with the personal understanding that I am becoming more and more critical but at the same time more and more focused on solutions, policies, programs that do change for the better the lives of my sisters and my own, so we can build a legacy of a new order of things. 🦋Let's tell the little ones ( girls and boys ) that they must keep dreaming, let's tell all the others, the grownups, we must keep fighting, and we must keep supporting each other. 🌟 As the month ends, our work continues; our work must continue until all have the capacity to dream, no gaps, and conditions to build a path to reach them. This is also why I choose this campaign, launched in 2018, as a reminder ! 💫 #Empowered #ChangeForTheBetter #bravas #SupportEachOther #dreamgapproject #fullpotencial #womenneedsupport A special worth of appreciation: BRAVAS WOMEN IN TECH ® Global Movement G100: Mission Million WOMEN IN BLUE ECONOMY UN Women

I was doing a clean-up, getting rid of old files 📁 I stumbled across this. I kept it because I was proud of being accepted into this electronics program. I remember seeing “himself” scratched out and “herself” written and thinking, “This makes me special; I am as good as the boys.” As a 14-year-old girl this was a perfectly normal thought. Now I see how distorted and sad it is that young girls think this way. The concept that I was as “good as a boy” at something was a point of pride. Even today when the stats show globally only 15% of CTOs (even lower in Australia) are women, my first emotion is pride to be one of those women. That’s sad. I should be proud of my accomplishments not because I am a minority but because they _are_ accomplishments. The fact boys (men) hold the bar we need to strive for is wrong. People are still arguing “girls are as good as boys at math”. How is this still a thing? These stereotypes and bias are real and deeply embedded in our culture. The only way to abolish them is to build awareness and crush them without mercy when we see them in action 😡 Ok, that’s dramatic but those who know me, know I get a little passionate 😂 Yet, when women call these things out, we’re labelled a “feminist”, as if that is an insult. My call to action: Become a “feminist”. Bring a spotlight to these biases. I’m not just speaking to women but men also. When you do this, it helps erode the stigma that equality is a female’s plight. No, it should be everyone’s mission 💪 #genderequality #womenintech #techforgood #diversityintech

Gain a little insight into the roadblocks and biases girls face in pursuing technology / engineering studies. This is a story from our founder and just one of the insiduous ways biases and stereotypes shape our thinking. #techforgood #diversityintech #girlsintech #womenintech

If you’re familiar with the power of #metoo and #shepersisted, you’ll understand the power of ON THE MARCH: A NOVEL OF THE WOMEN'S MARCH ON WASHINGTON. Social justice teachers, innovators, and women's studies professionals will be interested in using this novel in the classroom or as part of program development. A work of Women's Fiction that has crossover appeal in the New Adult and YA market, ON THE MARCH is about three women, all strangers, who meet on the bus journeying from Kansas to Washington, D.C., to participate in the 2017 Women’s March on Washington. Henrietta Oldham is an elderly woman who runs a failing antique store; Birdie Jackson is a shy African-American teenager who is marching at the insistence of her feminist aunt; Emily Messer is a recent college graduate who needs more in her life than her job as a barista. All three women have secret, undisclosed reasons for attending the march, and in the course of the novel, as the women begin to know and trust each other, these secrets are revealed. Although Henrietta, Birdie, and Emily appear to have little in common as they begin their ride, ON THE MARCH confirms that classic women’s issues – sexual harassment, pay inequity, self-sabotage, even bra-stuffing – serve as common intersectional bonds among women across the generations. Even more, sharing their stories on the 34-hour trip together as well as participating in the march itself becomes the catalyst for changing each of their lives for the better. ON THE MARCH is about the revived feminist spirit of our times, an intellectual, cultural, and often hilarious novel of the zeitgeist. It will appeal to millions of women who are now culturally and politically engaged, whether they marched or not. The idea behind the novel was to watch the way the events of the march helped women of different ages, races, and backgrounds come together to create positive change in the world and in each of their lives. #feminism #intersectionality #womensmarch

🌟 This Week's Topic: Empowering Girls for Leadership 🌟 Girls face multifaceted challenges in the realm of leadership due to cultural biases and gender inequality. It's time for change! 💪 For far too long, societal norms have discouraged girls from taking the lead, causing them to encounter resistance when asserting themselves. This has unfortunately eroded their confidence and fostered a fear of being labeled as "bossy." 😔 To foster change and uplift girls in leadership roles, let's engage in candid discussions about sexism, oversexualization, racism, and all forms of bias. 🗣️ By challenging traditional leadership paradigms, we can embrace a collaborative and empathetic approach that resonates with girls' preferences. The imperative lies with us – parents, caregivers, teachers, mentors – to nurture and champion girls' journey to leadership. Let's pave the way for them to flourish! 🌷 By dismantling stereotypes and amplifying their voices, we can reshape perspectives and cultivate a more inclusive and equitable society. Let's stand together for #LeanInGirls and unleash the power of #GirlLeadership! 🚀💖
ICYMI: Check out this op-ed in USA TODAY by our head of Lean In Girls Latricia Barksdale and our founder Sheryl Sandberg. As they point out, getting real with girls about what they're up against is protective and empowering. When girls know how to identify and push back against bias, they are less likely to internalize harmful stereotypes and blame themselves when they're treated unfairly. That's real #girlpower.
Girls make great leaders. So why do we often tell them not to lead?
