Women of Toledo

✨A Seat at the Table Exhibit at The Portal at Toledo School for the Arts ✨ Behind every chair in this exhibit is a story—a tribute to the Toledo women who shaped history and the young women building their future. Created by our Girls Hub Fearless Builders, these one-of-a-kind chairs represent more than just art. They symbolize empowerment, creativity, and the power of women lifting each other up! By bidding on a chair, you’re not just taking home a piece of history—you’re investing in the next generation of fearless young women in our Girls Hub program this June and supporting the incredible student artists at Toledo School for the Arts! 🗓️Exhibit open until March 20 Fundraiser Auction Reception 📍The Portal at Toledo School for the Arts Let’s continue building a future where every girl knows her voice, her ideas, and her dreams matter.

Join me at the upcoming HeForShe social on Wednesday, March 19! We'll be gathering at Quenched & Tempered, a pioneering women-owned business known for creating inclusive spaces. Ali, the owner, is a trailblazer in fostering community connections. You're invited to an evening of celebration at Quenched & Tempered! What is HeForShe? It’s a United Nations led initiative stewarded locally by the Women of Toledo to create space for conversation about how we (men) can best show up for women. Reach out to me with any questions. Don’t worry, I’m learning too.

Celebrating Women’s History Month with Reflection & Gratitude! "As I think about Women’s History Month, I reflect on all the women who have gone before us and the amazing things they accomplished. They stood up to insurmountable odds, prejudice, and ridicule to become the “firsts” whether it was to attend an all-male college or law school like Ruth Bader Ginsberg, to pave the way for others of us in the fields of science, outer space, aviation, medicine, politics, and engineering that had been dominated by men. They made strides in previously, traditionally-male trades like construction or in the armed forces. I think about the suffragettes like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, their struggles, all they suffered, & all the years they persevered so they could finally win the vote for us. Can you even imagine the life of the former enslaved woman, Harriet Tubman, who freed 70 others through thirteen different missions? Who are women from history with whom you identify?" - Karen Keimnec, Women of Toledo Board Secretary (Read her full statement: https://lnkd.in/giFw9GxN ) This Women’s History Month, we honor the trailblazers of the past and the women shaping our future. Join us in celebrating at our Women’s History Month programs and activities! https://lnkd.in/gmPJu-5

Reflecting on last year’s International Women’s Day, we were reminded of the undeniable strength in women’s voices and the power of unity. From shared tears to standing ovations, the stories of our storytellers lit a fire for change and inspired us all. This year, we continue that momentum with the theme #AccelerateAction—highlighting how women show up for one another, build collaboration networks, and champion meaningful progress for women’s advancement. Be part of the movement. Join us for the NW Ohio 8th Annual 2025 International Women’s Day Luncheon on March 10th as we come together to fuel collective action and celebrate those creating impactful change. Let’s show up, support, and accelerate the future we want to see. Join the celebration: https://lnkd.in/garPXTv2 #AccelerateAction #SupportTheSupporters #IWD2025 #WomenEmpoweringWomen
