Empowered women empower the world. Supporting women begins with everyday actions that make a lasting impact. At Flammio Financial Group, we champion initiatives that uplift women. Here are some ways you can contribute: 1️⃣ Mentorship – Share your knowledge and experience to guide the next generation of female leaders. 2️⃣ Collaboration – Partner with women-owned businesses to foster growth and success. 3️⃣ Community Involvement – Volunteer or donate to organizations that prioritize women's education, safety, and financial independence. 4️⃣ Celebration – Recognize and celebrate the achievements of women in your life.

I've always wanted to do a campaign around people "gathering" together. Years ago, I pushed for a campaign for a major television maker called "Gather Around," which was never presented. In elite circles, "gathering" seems to happen at "convening" events where the monied, "successful," and powerful meet in a far-off places; I once suggested a "People's Davos," but was quickly told why that could never happen. Yet, during the following two weeks, I've seen gathering events pop up seemingly overnight -- or within a few days -- in a magnificent fashion. Last night we were able to choose between between Progressives for Harris, Elders for Harris and Comedians for Harris. Last Monday kicked off with the now famous White Dudes for Harris event, building on gatherings of Black women, Black men, LGBTQ people and White women -- I know I am missing many. On the White Dudes event, more than 200,000 participated throughout the 3+ hour gathering, raising $4.2 million dollars that evening. Two weeks, thousands engaged, millions raised. Four learnings: 1. Gather around joy and for something. 2. Simplicity works better. 3. We can organize and mobilize with speed and efficiency... 4. ...and do in a way that is easily accessible and more kind to our planet. I truly believe we have entered a new era, one of participation, where the many vs the few, can be included. And that they belong. Caroline Dettman Julie Jack-Preisman Tina Kaiser Alan T.

This March, NiPSA-UNILAG's editorial team, APSoUL, is sharing weekly pieces dedicated to the women in College of Medicine, UNILAG in honor of International Women’s Day! In these pieces would be interviews and stories of women whose lives are inspiring. In the first interview we got to sit down with Esther Sorkpor, a Physiotherapy student, who stands at the intersection of advocating for women’s rights and creating safe spaces for women to just be and become.

Thanks to the generous support of our community, Boss Women Matter (BWM) Round Table Talks have become a vital resource for Black women founders in Chicagoland. These open dialogues are a lifeline for Black women founders and serve as a cornerstone for community building, policy advocacy, and capacity building. While substantial progress has been made, the journey to economic equality for Black women founders remains challenging. Despite persistent systemic funding disparities to underrepresentation, our expanding community of founders is steadfast in their commitment to overcoming these barriers and creating a more equitable economic landscape.   Never before has our work been more critical. By dismantling these obstacles, we not only empower individuals but also uplift entire communities. Each Black woman founder supported is a beacon of hope, illuminating a brighter future for us all.   So today we invite you to make an impact with a powerful statement of support. Your contribution will not only help us expand our Round Table Talks, but provide mentorship, and advocate for policies. Together, we can empower the next generation of Black women entrepreneurial leaders. Will you join us in creating a brighter future? Donate now to support Black women founders. https://lnkd.in/g_ZJZZhq Not on our email list?

In the U.S., the National Women’s History Alliance chooses its own theme for Women's History Month each year. This year’s theme is centered on “Women who advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion.” “During 2024, we recognize the example of women who are committed to embracing everyone and excluding no one in our common quest for freedom and opportunity. They know that people change with the help of families, teachers and friends, and that young people in particular need to learn the value of hearing from different voices with different points of view as they grow up.” Check out the link below for a bountiful theme tool kit. https://lnkd.in/eeJpb4V6
