It’s amazing how “work friends” can turn into people you genuinely can’t get through life without. That’s the beautiful thing about #friendship – you get to choose who’s in your circle. The women who inspire you. The people who lift you up. The ones who love being around you just as much as you love being around them! These are the relationships that keep us motivated, supported, and accountable. Work friends are everything! Here's to highlighting the incredible power of #womensupportingwomen. #WomenOnTheRise co-hosted in partnership with Delta Air Lines and The Female Quotient Padma Lakshmi, Alicia Tillman, Delta Air Lines, Shelley Zalis, The Female Quotient

This headline referring to Frida Kahlo as the “Wife of the Master Mural Painter” must be a joke, right? 👀 When Frida Kahlo’s husband, Diego Rivera, was commissioned to create a series of murals for Detroit, she moved to the states with him in 1932. Quickly, reporters took notice of her – one in particular, Florence Davies, asked, “Are you a painter, too?” Unsurprisingly, Kahlo’s reply was legendary: “Yes. The greatest in the world.” Davies decided to write a profile on the artistic couple, writing, "Señora Rivera's painting is by no means a joke; because however, she may laugh when you ask her about it, the fact remains that she has acquired a very skillful and beautiful style, painting in the small with miniature-like technique, which is as far removed from the heroic figures of Rivera as could well be imagined." Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth to the iconic #FridaKahlo.

Women are desperate to be heard when it comes to their health. And when it comes to endometriosis, that plea becomes even louder. #Endometriosis is a disease that causes tissue to grow outside of the uterus, and the most common way to properly diagnose it is through a surgery called laparoscopy. Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, and the ~190 million who experience it describe it as debilitating pain and a life-changing condition…one that’s under-studied and hasn't historically been taken very seriously by doctors. But now, a new law in Connecticut established EndoRise, which aims to dedicate state funding to research and education on the disease. The plan is to collect and study tissue samples from those living with endometriosis in order to better understand its cause and hopefully determine a better path—and possible cure—forward. This is a big step forward for women living with the disease.

We must work towards a more inclusive world❗There are significant instances of innovations that could have greatly benefited from a diverse group of perspectives. Think: bathroom lines, transparent staircases, and crash test dummies, to name a few. If just one woman had been in those rooms, a more equitable alternative could have been a reality. One example? Women are less likely to get into a car crash than men, but they are 73% more likely to sustain serious injuries in a collision than men. Why? Because automotive companies are still only required to test vehicle safety using crash dummies modeled after the average man. Having different ways of thinking is critical in any industry, including cybersecurity, but women still make up just 25% of the industry. Our recent research, conducted in collaboration with Deloitte, found that only 23% of working women have ever considered a career in cybersecurity. Nearly half assume that they’d need a strong interest in tech, math, or computer science, when in reality, the industry thrives from those who are first and foremost, really great problem solvers. We need more women in these roles to leverage their unique perspectives for future innovations. (See above—it could be lifesaving!)
