Happy Women's History Month! ? Too often, women's contributions go unnoticed and uncredited—even though they’ve shaped the world in ways we can’t live without. ? Imagine a day without the inventions, innovations, and impact of women. Could you make it through? (Spoiler: Probably not.) ? This month, let’s celebrate, amplify, and appreciate the women who have changed history—and continue to shape our future. #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenWhoLead #ANCHOR #AncHER?

This Women’s History Month, we honor the strength, resilience, and grace of women who rise in the face of adversity, lead with purpose, and show up strong—even when the water gets hot. ? Here’s to the women making history every day.?#WomensHistoryMonth #Resilience #Leadership #Empowerment #Womeninconstruction #WomeninSTEM#WomenInLeadership

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re spotlighting a young history-maker paving the way for future generations: Alena Analeigh Wicker. ? At just 13 years old, Alena became the youngest person ever accepted into medical school in the United States, receiving admission to the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Heersink School of Medicine through the Burroughs Wellcome Scholars Early Assurance Program. ? But her brilliance doesn’t stop at academics. ? While still in high school, Alena recognized the racial and gender disparities in STEM—and decided to do something about it. She founded Brown STEM Girl (BSG) to create a culture of inclusion, empowerment, and opportunity for girls of color in science, technology, engineering, and math. Through scholarships, mentorships, and internships, BSG is helping the next generation rise. ? She also launched "Dorm Room Makeover", an initiative that supports first-year girls of color in STEM by making their new college environments feel like home. ? Alena is proof that leadership, purpose, and impact know no age. ? Here’s to bold beginnings, breaking barriers, and building futures. #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM #RepresentationMatters #STEMEducation #FutureLeaders #BrownSTEMGirl

As of 2024, women make up only 11.2% of the construction workforce—a number that needs to rise. At ANCHOR, we take pride in shaping the next generation by mentoring young girls and showing them that anything is possible. ? As a woman-owned and led company, we know firsthand the challenges of breaking barriers, and we’re committed to making the path smoother for those who follow. Our company culture aligns with the Women in Construction Week theme, ‘Together We Rise,’ because when one of us rises, we all do. ? From mentorship to advocacy, we’re building a future where women don’t just participate in construction—they lead it! #WomenInConstruction #TogetherWeRise #WICWeek2025 #AncHER
