?? How many phenomenal women do you know? Your mom who wiped your nose and your tears since you were little. Your ride-or-die bestie who is always just a phone call away. Your colleague who makes your job easier — and more fun. Your mentor who laid a trail of breadcrumbs for you to follow. ?? Tell her "She Shines" with an $18 donation to Michigan Women Forward. Why $18? Because for every $100 a man earns, women earn $18 less, according to Pew Research. And we want to reclaim that number. Make your tribute donation today and we'll send her an email letting her know "She Shines" and has made your life brighter.
