Generation 1st

Today, on International Women's Day, Generation 1st honors women who have led in various industries and have championed first-generation college graduates. From television, government, and technology, to healthcare. We look at powerful quotes from these women that inspire individuals to break through the glass ceiling, abolish stereotypes, create balance and navigate through challenges while leading in male-dominated industries. We celebrate every woman across the globe in this special commemoration. #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2024 #womeninbusiness #women #gen1st #firstgeneration
