We believe that motherhood belongs on the resume. It’s time we tear down the cultural bias against mothers that’s impacting their careers, and recognize motherhood for what it really is: a training ground for leadership. ?? In 2024, Motherhood on the Resume (MOTR) is back to challenge the status quo and break down the barriers mothers face in the workforce. This year, we're focusing on actionable insights and inspiring stories to support mothers aiming to re-enter the workforce or pivot their careers. Join us this Thursday, May 9th, as we expand our campaign to value moms in the workplace, de-stigmatize career breaks for motherhood, and highlight the unparalleled strengths mothers bring to their professional roles. Our movement is more than a campaign; it's a call to action for businesses to recognize motherhood as a badge of leadership and resilience.

Join us in congratulating the phenomenal Allyson Felix, an inspiring leader and past speaker at HeyMama, on the arrival of her newest team member – a beautiful baby! ???? Allyson, your journey both on and off the track has always motivated us. As you step into this beautiful phase of motherhood again, we are reminded of the strength and grace you embody. You've not only pushed the limits on the track but also tirelessly advocated for mothers and women in sports, making it easier for them to thrive in their careers and personal lives. Here’s to new beginnings and joyful moments. We can't wait to see all the ways you'll continue to inspire us as a mom and champion! ?? ??

Last week Luminary had the privilege of co-hosting an unforgettable event at Ted Baker in Soho, and our latest Luminary Field Trip, where our community came together for an evening of empowerment, networking, and inspiration. From an inspiring discussion led by some of our very own Luminary Members to meaningful connections forged between attendees as they shopped and networked, it was a special evening filled with energy and enthusiasm. Luminary Members Marisa Renee Lee, author of Grief Is Love, and Amri Kibbler Co-Founder of HeyMama, and our very own Founder Cate Luzio?joined Sarah Beugoms from Ted Baker in reminding women that there’s power in vulnerability. The conversation pivoted from lessons learn from early points in their careers to sharing vulnerable moments that shaped them and their journeys into the women they are today to how they use their style to empower. For the second year in a row, Luminary has partnered with Ted Baker to lead these vulnerable conversations. Sales proceeds of the evening also benefitted?Bottomless Closet and it was great to have their Executive Director Melissa Norden there with us. We didn’t just make a fashion statement; we also made a positive impact! A big thanks to Sarah Beugoms, Fiona Zeman and Olivia Owens?at Ted Baker for making this Field Trip happen! #WomenInTheWorkforce #GenderEquity #WomensHistoryMonth #Community #Empowerment #Leadership ?
