Can we talk about Jotaka Eaddy, Founder of #WinWithBlackWomen and the impact of starting your own business? I am inspired by the momentum I have been witnessing since last night and the impact of 44,000 Black Women jumping on a Zoom and raising over 1.5 Million for Kamala Harris' campaign. But I am most impressed by the impact of using your talents, skills, and natural GIFTS to impact the world. Go Jotaka! Start those side hustles!!!

Women’s month is a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate women in our lives. But we could do so much more… the real conversations need to start in our own homes and our workplaces. In what ways are we daily advocating for women? In what ways are making room for them to be heard and celebrated? In what ways do we intentionally set women up for wins? Women should not have to wait for August to feel celebrated. Our campaigns and events about protecting, standing up for and standing with women should not be a facade to please or impress the crowd, this should be a genuine desire to see women win at home and at the workplace. Women are role models, prayer warriors, and leaders to many people in their communities and circles. Personally, women have had the greatest impact on my life— their resilience to keep dreaming even though the odds are against them, the tenacity to keep going when it could be easy to quit, the audacity to serve even when not appreciated, the miracle of carrying life and raising children, the power to love, to work, and to enjoy life. The drive to honor and vouch for women should not stop when the month of August ends. It should be an ongoing pursuit… ??

Thank you Meredith C. Moore for inviting us to this year’s luncheon & for literally bringing us to the table to support the The Atlanta Women's Foundation & the much needed services they provide to women and girls in Atlanta. Since 1998, they have invested over $27 million in Atlanta across Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties. Incredible turnout of around 1,700 people and congratulations on raising around $300,000 in 10 mins. Here are some statistics that were shared that highlight the importance of this work: 1??Less than 2% of total US charitable giving goes to organizations serving women and girls. 2??Women and girls are twice as likely to experience mental health issues, a number that only increases for those living in poverty. 3??The percentage of high school girls who have seriously considered attempting suicide rose from 24.1% to 30% in recent years. 4??17% of women 18 years and older live in poverty. 5??Women make up nearly two-thirds of the 40 lowest-paying jobs. 6??The largest demographic living in poverty are women ages 25 to 34, followed by those 18 to 24, and then 35 to 44. 7??Nearly 80,000 girls live in poverty in Metro Atlanta. This is some of what the foundation has been able to achieve: 1??12,000 women have gained access to employment opportunities. 2??1,200 women have received childcare scholarships. 3??Over 20,000 women have accessed critical mental health services.

?Happy International Women’s Day! ? Today, we’re celebrating the extraordinary achievements, resilience and strength of women worldwide. This year, we’re inspiring inclusion - we want women to be inspired to be included, create a sense of belonging and relevance and feel empowered. If women aren’t present, we must ask ‘Why not?’, when women are discriminated against, we must call out poor practice. And, when the treatment of women is not equitable, we must take action. At She Leads for Legacy, we’re constantly pushing and advocating for Black women to be more included in the workplace and encouraging them to strive for senior leadership and board-level roles. Today, out of all days, is the day to get involved and promote a better future for women and there are numerous ways to do this, donating, advocating online and being a part of the conversation. - #EmpoweredToLead #BlackWomen #Leadership #SheLeadsForLegacy #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion

My latest report on impactful women of Kenosha County

Did you know it’s construction inclusion week ? Did you know that only 10.3% of the construction workforce is made up of women? Diversity isn’t just about numbers—it drives innovation, improves problem-solving, and enhances project outcomes. Studies show that companies with diverse teams are 35% more likely to outperform their competitors. Let’s champion gender diversity in construction! Together, we can create an inclusive environment that not only elevates women but also strengthens the entire industry. ???? #WomenInConstruction #Diversity #Inclusion #ConstructionIndustry #Empowerment
