Women in the US now hold 30% of Corporate Board seats ?? Although this is a US Report from 50/50 Women on Boards, it is still an interesting read for those in Canada. There is a finding that may not surprise anyone here: "When Women Lead: Companies with women in key leadership roles (CEO, Board Chair, or Nominating Chair) show higher board diversity, correlating with a greater percentage of gender-balanced boards and increased representation of women and people of color."

Last week, we had the pleasure of presenting to Cedar Valley Women Connect on creating, achieving, and maintaining balance in our lives. If this is something you struggle with, we invite you to do this exercise: Make a list of your values. (These values are the guiding principles with which we strive to live our lives.) Then, after you list out your values, reflect back on the last week. Where have you said yes to something outside of your values? Being aware of our "yes's" and if they are in alignment with our values or not will give us a clearer picture of where we could be out of balance. The question then becomes - Why am I saying yes to something that doesn't align with my values? And that is where we can grow and learn a lot as leaders and as important members of our families to create a better trajectory forward. - Nick Kuhle & Kayla Becker

Truly inspiring not just from a gender perspective but also from a youth empowerment vantage point.

Human development is heavily reliant on education. Article 43(1) of Kenya's 2010 Constitution provides the right to free education. Articles 53, 54, and 55 underscore the importance of young people, adolescents, and individuals with disabilities' right to education. Article 56 emphasizes the importance of affirmative action for marginalized groups, such as those in Kenya's arid and semi-arid areas (ASAL), female children, and women. Access to education for children has the ability to combat climate change, eliminate malnutrition, reduce poverty, boost social development, and improve the?quality of life. According to the KNBS report , A total of 39% of Kwale County residents have no formal education. Lunga Lunga constituency has the highest share of residents with no formal education at 45%. ?The average literacy rate is 57 percent. However, only 47.4% of women are literate, vs 66.6 percent of men. It is therefore critical to focus on eliminating illiteracy in Kwale County, lest the county slips behind in terms of economic, technological, and social advancement. It is in the backdrop of such glaring statistics that G for Girls a community based organization that fosters safe spaces for girls to support girls’ education was borne. In partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, we have implemented the KWEMA project for the last one year in a bid to bridge the education gap in Lunga Lunga Subcounty. ?KWEMA is a Kiswahili word meaning keep safe. Here are some of the highlights of the program: ·??????365 girls received 1200 hours of mentorship and safety ·??????A Total of 17 children secured high school scholarships for the next 4 years translating to 5,000,000ksh worth of investment in Education. G for Girls Initiative has adopted 3 girls. ·??????Further 500 girls have received dignity packs in a bid to curb period poverty, this has tremendously reduced school absenteeism ·??????6 sexual predators arrested and arraigned in a court of law. ·??????Gender and safeguarding embedded in the organization to guide our day to day programming. ·??????Angaza Elimu mobile library with 500 story books where girls borrow, learn to read to boost their literacy skills. ·??????With the good community relationship, the Kiwegu community has donated a piece of land where we intend to build a Community Resource Centre that will host a library and digital space. If you would love to add a book to our growing library, please reach out! #SDG4 #SDG5

?? As someone interested in seeing women in the highest levels of leadership, values influence everything I do. ?? The extrinsic motivators are great incentive: titles, money, vacation, power. However, I will always remember that intrinsic values are what I am left with at the end of the day. What drives me to LEAD and be LED. What can MAKE or BREAK my feelings of meaning and purpose - FULFILLMENT and feeling ALIGNED. “Just like personal values, work values have to do with your preferences, purpose and desired path. It’s important to consider these values as you explore your current job satisfaction level and think about future career development.” Getting to be in the umbrella of Delta Air Lines Delta Vacations is awe inspiring in and of itself. Then, I see how they position themselves in the world, who they join forces with, and what their initiatives are and I realize WHY I feel the way I do. The Female Quotient has long inspired me, as an organization driving the advancement and equality of women in the workplace. To quote Shelley Zalis: “A WOMAN ALONE HAS POWER; TOGETHER, WE HAVE IMPACT.” I’m proud the be a part of this organization, witnessing women supporting women at all levels, from all backgrounds, encouraging us to move forward together. ??????
